We’re halfway through ABC Gives Day and the impact is incredible! So far, we've raised $618,000 – enough to deliver over a million meals to people in need! So many exciting things have been happening across the country: ✨ In Sydney ABC's Mark Humphries and Greta Lee Jackson have been broadcasting live from our call centre. ✨ OzHarvest Melbourne have had ABC's Kate Meade on-site interviewing our legendary food rescue driver Tony, long-time food donor Josh from Josh's Rainbow Eggs , a charity we support and a food recipient. ✨ Our amazing OzHarvest Perth team have set up outside ABC HQ, raising awareness with a smoothie bike. ✨ OzHarvest Brisbane have been receiving beautiful calls from ABC listeners across Queensland ✨ In Coffs Harbour, ABC presenter Luke Ryan has been chatting to the charities we support, sharing beautiful stories about our impact live on air. ✨ OzHarvest Canberra have been making waves on the air! ABC reporter Mary Goode has interviewed our wonderful volunteer Ray and food rescue driver Stephen. ✨ OzHarvest Adelaide have welcomed special visitors - Premier Peter Malinauskas and Leader of the Opposition Vincent Tarzia dropped in to meet our volunteers and talk on ABC radio. ✨ At OzHarvest Newcastle, our awesome food rescue driver Matt has hit the road with ABC presenter Nick Gill to do a live broadcast.
