Adelaide CookOff

CEO CookOff 2026

We're helping to feed people in need!

We're taking part in OzHarvest's CEO CookOff this November to cook meals and raise crucial funds to feed people in need in our local communities.

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.

We're 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 our team to cook, connect and create change to help those doing it tough
