On the last Friday in August our volunteers came together to shmooze and hear from an extraordinary young Upstander.
Benj founded FoodFilled Inc during his first year at university, driven by a profound commitment to community service.
Walking down the streets of his local community, past garbage bins overflowing with perfectly good food, Benj saw a pressing problem. In Australia, food retailers discard copious amounts of food each day whilst over 4 million Aussies go hungry every year. In September 2018, he established FoodFilled; a not-for-profit devoted to combating food wastage and hunger.
Having been involved with FoodFilled from the beginning, Belle has worked hand in hand with Benj to build FoodFilled to where it is.
To date, FoodFilled has distributed almost 400,000 meals to disadvantaged individuals across Melbourne, feeding over 20,000 people every month from 10,000+ kilos of edible food rescued.
