The final APPMA member dinner for 2019 will be held in Brisbane on Tuesday 12 November, featuring guest speaker Amy Cobb of OzHarvest.
Cobb, the Queensland state manager, will present the OzHarvest story, as well as its initiatives, its challenges, and how businesses can support it, says Mark Dingley, chair of APPMA.
“OzHarvest is Australia’s leading food rescue organisation with a driving purpose to Nourish Our Country. It began with a simple concept to rescue good food that would otherwise go to waste and deliver it to people in need. The OzHarvest Family collect surplus food from donors like supermarkets, hotels and airlines that would otherwise go to landfill.
“OzHarvest Brisbane rescues over 100,000 kilograms of quality, excess food each month and delivers directly to more than 120 local charities including school breakfast programs, domestic violence shelters, emergency food relief programs, youth groups, and street vans,” said Dingley.
Dingley urges members to RSVP to appma@appma.com.au before 4 November. The event will begin at 6pm on 12 November at the Marriott Hotel, 515 Queen St, Brisbane.
