Guest Speaker
 
Steve Clifford CEO of SecondBite, delivered a most interesting presentation and was a very affable dinner companion.
 
SecondBite was founded in 2005 by Ian and Simone Carson. They and a committed group of friends visited market stalls in Melbourne to collect surplus food and supplied it to local charities. In that first year SecondBite rescued 655kgs of food. Fast forward to FY21, and it redistributed 24.3 million kgs of food, providing the equivalent of 48.7 million meals to people in need. Since 2005, it has rescued and redistributed more than 118 million kgs of food, providing the equivalent of 236 million meals.
