Rescuing food you’re cleaning out for Pesach

As Pesach approaches, local food rescue organisation FoodFilled is encouraging the community to turn their kitchen clean-out into an opportunity to support families in need.

The initiative invites people to donate non-perishable food items they may be clearing from their homes as they prepare for Pesach.

FoodFilled intends to redirect these items to people experiencing food insecurity, ensuring that good food does not go to waste. All food collected during the drive will be distributed to local food relief agencies supporting individuals and families who are struggling to access enough food.

FoodFilled works across Victoria to collect surplus food and deliver it to communities facing food insecurity. By partnering with supermarkets, wholesalers, and volunteers, the organisation redistributes thousands of kilograms of food each month that would otherwise go to landfill.

Organisers say the Pesach food drive is a meaningful way to transform the popular custom into community care.
