Canon Australia cooks for charity

Directed by professional chefs who donated their services, Canon corporates-turned-cooks prepared the meals made from donated food in a community ‘Cooking for a Cause’ program.

Noting that giving back to the community strengthened ties within the team, Canon professional print senior general manager Mike Boyle commented: ‘What they have achieved as an organization should inspire us as individuals and even more so as a team that our actions can indeed make a positive difference, whether it is with the wider community or with our customers.’

Each week, the community program collects more than 42 tonnes of food from more than 2000 donors that would otherwise end up in landfill. It delivers meals to more than 500 charities that feed homeless, vulnerable and other disadvantaged people.
