OzHarvest is operating 6 days a week :
-from Monday to Friday from 9am to 10.30pm
-on Saturday from 5pm to 10.30pm

OzHarvest would prefer that food is packaged before we collect it. However we understand that this is not always possible. OzHarvest is able to provide packaging if you do not have your own. Any packaging that you can provide will help us to more efficiently use our resources. Our drivers and volunteers will be able to transfer the food to our containers if you are not able to do this for us. Just let us know prior to collection if you require this extra assistance. We want to make the donation of food to support those who are disadvantaged and at risk as easy as possible.

OzHarvest is doing its beset to come and collect food with short notice - the best notice you can give us would however be greatly appreciated.
