We rescue food to feed hungry Aussies.

WE RESCUE FOOD

We rescue edible surplus and unsold food from growers, manufacturers and retailers.

WE DISTRIBUTE FOOD FREE OF CHARGE

We distribute rescued food free of charge to over 1,400 charities to feed Aussies in need.

WE HELP THE ENVIRONMENT

By diverting edible food from waste we ensure a sustainable environment for the future.

We provide food for FREE

We rescue edible surplus food from growers, manufacturers and retailers and distribute it free of charge to over 1,100 charities and not-for-profit organisations to feed Aussies in need. Our partners use the rescued food for nourishing meals, emergency relief packages, community pantries and much more.

The need for more food is great

One in five Aussies are affected by food insecurity and don’t have enough safe, nutritious food. This can badly affect their physical, emotional and social wellbeing. SecondBite makes sure that good food is getting to people who need it most, rather than to landfill.
