OzHarvest Community CookOff

Ugo joins top chefs at OzHarvest fundraiser Community CookOff

Ugo Di Girolamo, Executive Chairman & Managing Director of DDH will be cooking up a storm to help feed people in need at OzHarvest’s flagship fundraiser, Community CookOff on 16th May 2022. Ugo will be joining top chefs in some of Australia’s best restaurants, to create a gourmet lunch for special guests from charities that receive OzHarvest food.

“The work that OzHarvest does in food rescue and education to help address food insecurity and waste is tremendously important. We have been sending DDH colleagues to the Cooking for a Cause kitchen for over 8 years now, and I’m really looking forward to participating in my first Community CookOff.”

OzHarvest Founder and CEO, Ronni Kahn AO says the need for food relief has hit an all-time high, with the cost of living replacing the pandemic as main reason people are food insecure.

“More people than ever need our help, the charities we support cannot meet the consistently high level of demand and we still have 600 charities on our waiting list for food.”

“The Community CookOff brings so many communities together to connect over great food at the same time as raising valuable funds to help keep our wheels turning. If you’re looking for a way to re-engage your team with purpose and fun, this is it!” said Ronni.

The fundraising goal is $2.5 million which will help OzHarvest provide an additional five million meals to those who need it most.
