New OzHarvest Market in Waterloo

To say this has been a year like no other is anunderstatement. I have never been more proud of
OzHarvest for pivoting and adapting to the dailychanges facing our organisation. Like any charity,
we suffered huge revenue and fundraising losses
at the same time as demand for our services went
through the roof. Food rescue became a frontline
service during lockdown and our drivers nevermissed a beat to make sure good food was still
being delivered to those who need it most.

BACK

Mobile Markets

Thanks to government funding and generous
individuals we were able to respond quickly withnew services to meet the increasing level ofdemand for food relief, including pop-up hamper
hubs, food essentials boxes, mobile markets,
cooked meals and a new OzHarvest Market in
Sydney’s Waterloo. For the first time in our history,
we had to buy food to supplement our rescued foodvolumes.

OzHarvest Market Waterloo

Despite the hardship faced by so many, the powerof community has shone through with more people
than ever rallying to support our cause - for which,
we are deeply grateful. It has never been more
important to ‘Nourish our Country.’

What a year for foodrescue! Demand forfood relief was alreadyreaching a new high fromthe impact of bushfires,
drought and floods,
before COVID-19 hit inMarch. Rescued foodvolumes lurched from low
to high, from panic buying
in supermarkets closely
followed by the closureof the hospitality sector.
Food rescue became afrontline service and new
emergency food relief
services were introduced
to help meet demand,
including food hampers,
cooked meals and mobile
markets.

When you hear that people
are choosing between
topping up their OPAL CARD
and having dinner – it’s reallyrough. When we give out
OzHarvest food, you see athanks that can’t be put intowords.

Originally opened asa pop-up project, theOzHarvest Market in
Kensington has been
serving over 300
vulnerable customers a
day for over three years.
The impact of COVID-19
saw many necessarychanges made to daily
operations. As customers
could no longer shop
inside, volunteers gaveout food hampers packed
with pantry essentials
and fresh produce. Our
second OzHarvest Market
opened in Waterloo to help
support many new people
facing food insecurity forthe first time.

“

My clients used to love coming
to the market, but now I deliver a
weekly food hamper instead, whichallows me to have a conversation.
Fresh food and cooked meals
means they don’t have to eat pot
noodles or something cheap fromthe convenience store.

The summary financial statements, which comprise the summary statement of financial

position as at 30 June 2020, the summary statement of comprehensive income andsummary statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and related notes, arederived from the audited financial report of OzHarvest Limited (the Company) for theyear ended 30 June 2020.
In our opinion, the accompanying summary financial statements are consistent, in allmaterial respects, with the audited financial report.
The summary financial statements do not contain all the disclosures required by theAustralian Accounting Standards and the Australian Not-for-Profits Commission Act

TREASURER’S REPORT
It is very pleasing to report that OzHarvest was able to achieve Total Revenue for theyear ended 30 June 2020 of $18,897,925 (FY19: $15,205,556) an increase of 24% overthe prior year. This was only due to our very generous partners and supporters during
the year, an enormous achievement given the much-loved annual CEO Cookoff wascancelled due to the impact of COVID-19.
OzHarvest continues to invest in new and innovative ways to provide sustainablefunding for its expanding services, including our latest addition, Harvest Bites. Income
from Corporate partners continues to grow and the commitment from Government thisyear at all levels enabled us to establish significant new emergency services projects toprovide food and supplies to the most vulnerable, expanding our reach to more regional
communities across Australia

Cash Flows

Our auditor’s report on the Company’s audited financial report for the year ended 30
June 2020 draws attention to Note 1 of the financial report which describes the basisof accounting. That financial report is prepared to assist the Company to meet therequirements of the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission Act 2012. As aresult the audited financial report may not be suitable for another purpose. Our opinion
is not modified in respect of this matter.

Demand continues to grow for food relief, food rescue, and education, driving a further
increase in employee numbers and in the number of food rescue vehicles operating
nationally. This has led to a rise in the organisation’s operating expenses to $18,495,825(FY19: $15,502,645). The net result was a surplus of $402,100, compared to a deficit of$297,089 reported in the prior year.
