OzHarvest

On Monday, 11 February Qantas and OzHarvest hosted the 2013 CEO COOK OFF and fed approximately 1000 people in need at St Mary’s Cathedral Square.

Mr Switch Electrical participated in the event donating their time and was teamed up with Celebrity Chef to prepare a meal and experience a first-hand connection with those in need by serving food.

The event raised $1M in 2012 and 2013!
In Australia, every night 105,000 people are homeless. Of that figure:

• 60% are under the age of 35
• almost 50% are women and
• 1 in 10 are under the age of 12.

Homelessness is the lack of a permanent place to live. This includes sleeping rough on the street, couch surfing, sleeping at refuges and shelters. Over the last five years, rate of homelessness has increased by 8% nationally and a staggering 20% in NSW, VIC, TAS and ACT.
All money raised is donated to maintaining food security for the homeless and helping out all Youth At Risk.
