Grants of up to $200,000 are available over two years to support projects that raise awareness and improve education on food rescue.
“We need to increase the volume of food donated and capture more good food before it becomes a waste,” Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Scot MacDonald said.
Environment Minster Gabrielle Upton said the grants would help to make sure good food didn’t go to waste.
NSW EPA staff are available to help charities prepare applications.
Applications for a share of the money are open until November 22.
