SecondBite is committed to making a positive difference to people, by identifying sources of nutritious surplus food and produce that would otherwise go to waste, and facilitating its safe and timely distribution to agencies and people in need.
Formally established in 2005, SecondBite was the idea of Ian and Simone Carson, who decided they could no longer watch good food go to waste whilst people went hungry. In its first year, SecondBite was run by just three volunteers in Victoria and moved just over 600 kg of food. Since then, the Melbourne hub has grown at an astounding rate with the generous support of volunteers, donors and supporters alike. In 2012, the Melbourne hub alone rescued nearly 1,000,000 kg of surplus fresh food.
SecondBite is now a national organisation driven by passionate, caring and hard-working people dedicated to making a difference in the lives of others. Incredibly, every $20 will provide 50 hearty nutritious meals to people in need, and every $50 will provide enough fresh food to feed a family of four for a week.
