Levels of food-insecurity and loneliness are at all-time highs in Australia.
Pre-pandemic, 1 in 4 Australians were already reporting problematic levels of loneliness. In 2020, this number increased by 100% with 1 in 2 Australians now feeling lonely. As Australians dip in and out of lockdown, food insecurity is still ravaging the country, with an estimated 200% increase in the number of Australians experiencing it, many for the first time in their lives.1
To combat these epidemics taking place in COVID-19’s shadow, Australia’s most-loved culinary figures are joining forces to remind Australians about the benefits of meal times. The result is #Cook2Connect - a digital campaign which encourages us all to ‘share a plate with a mate’ - while also raising much-needed funds for OzHarvest.
Perfection Fresh is a proud support of the #Cook2Connect campaign. Full media release here.
