After a bumper year for Cooking for a Cause bookings across the country, this program is now well recognised and much loved by many corporates as a unique team building experience, packed with purpose, education and social impact. It brings together business leaders, employees, customers, clients, friends, families and communities in a meaningful way. 

This year the Sydney team evolved the program to include an ‘After Dark’ event, welcoming teams to add on an evening dining experience to enjoy the delicious food they’ve cooked. After popular demand, our amazing chefs are now running Kids Cooking for a Cause during the school holidays, proving to be a hit for parents and their children!

We’re always looking to adapt and innovate wherever we can. The Melbourne chef team rose to the challenge working with McCormick to prepare and deliver meals made with love for families at Ronald McDonald House Charities, bringing comfort to those supporting children in hospital care. 

When Brisbane faced unexpected storms which damaged our kitchen facility, the community came to the rescue with YCC opening their kitchen to ensure we could continue serving those in need.

In Adelaide we opened our new kitchen next door to the office in October and the passionate Perth team are steadily growing the program in WA.

Cooking for a Cause is an eye-opening introduction to food rescue, food waste and community service, creating lasting impressions that ripple through corporate culture and beyond. We think this quote sums it up nicely!

“The power of your culture, respect and gratitude was palpable and offered a wonderful model for our own team culture.We came away profoundly inspired by all that you do – the quality of rescued food and beautiful cooking to create such nutritious meals, were significant realisations for many in our team.”
