It is very pleasing to report that OzHarvest was able to achieve Total Revenue for the year ended 30 June 2022 of $36,763,026 (FY21: $29,651,296). This was made possible by our very generous partners and supporters in a year where the impacts of COVID-19 continued to be widely felt.
The need for food relief grew even further during the year. The continued commitment from Government at all levels enabled us to continue and expand significant emergency food relief projects to support the most vulnerable in capital cities and regional areas across Australia. Food rescue operations also expanded with an increase in the number of vehicles on the road, driven by growing demand from both food donors and recipient charities. This has led to a rise in the organisation’s operating expenses to $36,841,526 (FY21: $27,182,160).
OzHarvest continues to invest in education and sustainability initiatives to drive action and influence food waste policy. The net result for the year was a small deficit of $78,500 (FY21: Surplus $2,469,136).
I wish to thank Graham Jowett (CFO) and the finance team for their dedication and professionalism. I also acknowledge the continued work and guidance of the auditors, Ernst & Young.
