From the beginning, Grace's mission for Thermomix® in Australia was to make a difference in people’s lives.
In Australia, we waste 7.6 million tonnes of food every year. Despite this, 3.7 million households struggled to put food on their table this year. These are stats that together, we can help change.
“We’re keen to extend our impact, and partnering with OzHarvest was the perfect way for us to do that,” says Bianca Mazur, Chief Executive Officer.
Our goal working with OzHarvest this year is to donate 200,000 meals and rescue 100,000kg of food from food waste.
Host a demo,
make an impact
When you host a demo between 11 April and 15 May, we’ll donate 20 meals to OzHarvest or KiwiHarvest (our New Zealand partner).
Post a photo or video of your demo* on your Instagram feed or Facebook profile, using the hashtag #ozharvestdemo, and we’ll donate an extra 20 meals!
Through this initiative we’ve aiming to donate 100,000 meals across Australia and New Zealand by 15 May.

Donation of 40 TM5 models
OzHarvest’s work is two-fold. They provide food and meals to those in need, whilst also striving to reduce food wastage from businesses all over the country. In 2023 alone, OzHarvest rescued and repurposed 12.7 million kilos of food!
We’ve donated 40 refurbished Thermomix TM5s to OzHarvest to be used in their kitchens along with their Feast Programs. Feast is an educational program run in high school to teach students about food waste and healthy eating.
“Donating TM5s to OzHarvest kitchens and high school Feast Programs is a way for us to pay it forward,” says Grace Mazur, Managing Director.
Donate to OzHarvest
Right now, more people than ever are struggling to put food on the table. A donation of $10 to OzHarvest = 20 meals.
Five food waste facts
One third of all food produced is lost or wasted each year. In Australia we waste an equivalent of 300kg of food per person.
Decomposing food in landfill produces methane - a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.
Households waste over $2000 of food annually.
The most wasted foods are veggies, bread, fruit, salad and leftovers.
Up to 10% of global greenhouse gases comes from food that is produced, but not eaten. Wasting food is worse than total emissions from flying (1.9%), plastic production (3.8%) and oil extraction (3.8%). Reducing food waste is the most effective thing an individual can do to address climate change.
*The post needs to be public so we can see it. There will be 1 donation per demo held, irrespective of how many social posts.
