A Testimonial from SecondBite’s Co-Founders

I am so proud of the partnership between SecondBite and PonyUp.

We started working together in 2016 and from day one PonyUp have only ever been genuine, trusted, and loyal. They consistently look for ways to deepen and grow our relationship and are always generous with their time, their contacts and their financial support. All of which allows us to do our best to make sure all Australians have access to healthy food no matter what their postcode or circumstances.

 As a Co-Founder I am often asked to speak about how and why we started SecondBite. As part of that story, I always mention that we would not have been able to grow into a national food rescue organisation and achieve what we have without our partners. Pony Up from day one has understood our mission to End Hunger and End Waste.

They walk beside us, and we have never had to ask them to share our mission, our story or our vision, they just do it.

 Through their Business and Education connections they have become advocates both for the dreadful waste issues in our country and the growing number of Australians experiencing food insecurity, especially during this period of economic uncertainty. Before most people started talking about ESG programs and commitments to sustainability, PonyUp were out there offering a simple and meaningful program which keeps technology out of Landfill. As a genuine social enterprise it donates 50% of its profit to SecondBite every quarter which has equated to 656,150 meals .

 Thank you PonyUp. The team at SecondBite look forward to many years of a tackling Hunger and Waste together.
