Why we're donating 100% of Profits this quarter to OzHarvest.

01/02/2023

Life can be overwhelming. When we think too hard about the state of our earth, the plastic in our oceans, the issues of waste and landfill, or the millions of people without the resources they need, it can be easy to  feel helpless with where to start or what to do. However, we want to remind you that in the smallest ways, we all have the power to help change the world. Your purchasing power can directly impact the world around you and the lives of those who need it most. Whether we like it or not, each time we purchase something we are casting a vote, whether positive or negative, toward our collective future. 

At Worn for Good we want to encourage people to buy smart, considered pieces that they will love for longer. Forget this season, last season or any season. It is our firm belief that if you focus on choosing timeless pieces that align with your personal style you’ll wear and love them for years to come. Our intention when curating our collections,  is to give you the opportunity  to shop for good. To cast your vote, and cast it well, toward a more circular economy. The cherry on top? 100% of the profits  support charities that are generating unbelievable social and environmental change. Thanks to the incredible designers and brands we partner with,  we are able to donate the entirety of our profits to a new cause each and every quarter. To date, we’ve been able to donate over $36,000 to our charity partners, a feat which wouldn’t be possible without your support. 

We are so excited to announce that for this quarter, 100% of our profits will be donated to OzHarvest

On any given day, over half a million households in Australia are struggling to put food on the table, those with children are being hardest hit.  The rising cost of living is the most common reason that families are struggling to put food on the table, with increased cost of food, energy and housing contributing the most (Foodbank Hunger Report).

A little bit about OzHarvest

OzHarvest is a leading food rescue organisation on a mission to nourish our country by stopping good food from going to waste and delivering it to charities that feed people in need. Their vans can be found across Australia each and every day collecting surplus food from their network of donors, including supermarkets, cafes, delis, restaurants, corporate kitchens, airlines, hotels and other food businesses. 

Every $1 donated to OzHarvest allows them to deliver two meals to people in need.
 

The OzHarvest Impact

OzHarvest collects food from over 3,000 donors across the country and then delivers it direct and free of charge to charities nationally. They partner with 1800 charities and deliver delicious, nutritious food to each of them to help feed those in need. Since 2004, OzHarvest has delivered over 225 million meals. That’s a massive impact. On top of it all they also run numerous education programs and advocacy work in hopes of inspiring others to change behaviour and help reach the national target of having food waste by 2030. 

Of course, every meal delivered also means that good food is diverted from landfill. Food going into landfill is a huge contributor to dangerous greenhouse gas emissions, with 10% of all emissions impacting climate change coming from food waste.
