“This is more than a concert, it’s a call to action and every dollar raised will enable us to deliver two meals to someone in need. The concert aims to raise crucial funds to provide two million meals for Australians struggling to make ends meet,” she said.
‘Unite to Feed Australia’ comes at a time where food waste and hunger are at an all time high in Australia. Of the 1,500 charities relying on OzHarvest, 75% of them have seen an increase in demand, and 67% do not have enough food to feed everyone that needs help. OzHarvest is feeling the pinch, stating on their website, “there is just not enough food to meet demand.”
40 years on from Bob Geldof’s ‘Live Aid’, hunger and food shortages are now on our own doorstep, and OzHarvest is holding the spotlight.
The event is hoping to raise enough funds to provide over two million meals to Aussies doing it tough. Every $1 donated, provides two nourishing meals.
