Ronni Kahn is best known for founding the Australian food rescue charity OzHarvest.
Kahn was the 2010 winner of the Australian Local Hero Award
in recognition of her work founding food rescue charity OzHarvest, a non-denominational charity that rescues excess food which would otherwise be discarded and distributes the food to charities supporting the vulnerable in Sydney, Canberra, Newcastle, Adelaide and Brisbane.
Born in South Africa, Kahn moved to Israel where she lived on a kibbutz for many years before emigrating to Australia with her then-husband in 1998 and started an events management business. Shocked by the waste from corporate hospitality, she founded OzHarvest in 2004.
