Last weeks was incredible! Thanks to everyones generosity - your contributions were enough to provide more than 1 MILLION MEALS for people across Australia doing it tough!

According to a SecondBite national survey of 405 charity partners, 94% are seeing increased demand for food relief, with 2 in 3 having to turn people away because they can't meet the need. Its tough times out there...

PonyUp for Good joined matched giving partners, The Eric and Elizabeth Gross Foundation, Mondelēz International and Abercrombys, together all donations were doubled up to $100,000. Which means your contributions were DOUBLED and SecondBite and their fabulous food relief agency partners, could help provide FREE MEALS to even more people doing it tough right now...

Thanks to everyone for your kindness - and thanks to Lucy Glazner for this lovely video!

'THANK YOU' to our amazing clients in helping achieve this HUGE milestone!

While 1.5M is a big number - it’s the 'BIG WHY's' behind the scenes that matters most.

WHY? - Because behind every meal is a person who deserves access to healthy food. With food insecurity continuing to put enormous pressure on 1 in 3 Australian households, the need for organisations like SecondBite has never been greater.

WHY? - Because we can keep reusable technology out of landfill. Australia generates enormous volumes of tech waste, with 22.8M tonnes sent to landfill in last year alone. Keeping tech in circulation longer, means reducing unnecessary waste.

WHY? - We believe ESG programs should be more than reporting & good intentions. They should create outcomes that everyone inside an organisation can see, understand and feel proud to be part of.

THANK YOU too to SecondBite, for the extraordinary work you do every day to rescue healthy food, fight food insecurity and get meals where they’re needed most.

The BIG WHY's are what keep PonyUp for Good going - GiddyUp!

Yesterday, we were so chuffed to attend the launch of FareShare & SecondBite's brand new FARM in Dingley!

This incredible facility will triple annual fresh vegetable production, which is a major step in the fight against food insecurity across Australia, at a time when costs are rising and 44% of households are struggling to put food on the table.

Congratulations to the everyone involved and to all those who have so generously gifted and donated to make this happen. This is a HUGE WIN in getting fresh, nutritious food to those doing it tough… and just look at those beautiful pumpkins, ready to be turned into yummy winter soup - GiddyUp!

Turning decommissioned technology into measurable outcomes & stronger social procurement results - and of course...real impact for local communities in need via our amazing partners at SecondBite!

This year’s Fire Pony energy is all about:

🔥 Taking decisive action = Setting clear steps for your ESG plan

🔥 Accelerating outcomes that matter = Turn your company’s retired tech into fresh meals for those in need

🔥 Clearing outdated approaches & backing purpose-driven solutions = Has your business been saying ‘This is how we have always done things' for too long now? It’s now time to ask ‘Who do we want to be this year?’

🔥 Moving faster, with intention & impact = Your meaningful & measurable outcomes - will ensure your impact, values & reputation will soon align
