Support my CookOff to feed people in need.

I'm taking part in OzHarvest's CEO CookOff this October to cook meals and raise crucial funds to feed people in need in my local community.

With the cost of living increasing, the demand for food relief in Australia is at an all-time high as people struggle to make ends meet.

I'm teaming up with Australia's most talented chefs, and other CEOs and leaders to reduce food waste and make a difference to Australia’s most vulnerable.

Every $1 donated to OzHarvest means they can deliver 2 meals to those in need.

Every donation counts, so please sponsor me to cook, connect and create change to help those doing it tough.

So far this year, I've raised $1,810 to provide...

3,620

MEALS

to feed people in my local community.
