While most of our volunteers do not have any professional kitchen experience, they work together with guidance from Ozanam House staff to prepare simple, nutritious meals. The volunteers assist the catering team in preparing over 8,000 meals a month for their lunchtime meal program.
The team organized their own stall for a Friday Street Feast fundraiser on the streets of Auckland, and received overwhelming feedback from customers on the fantastic Indian fare. Overall, the Street Feast raised close to $12,000 to help fund medical treatment for the beneficiary; a Spark employee.
“The team from Infosys are a huge part of Spark and we really appreciate you getting involved and standing with us to support their colleague. I see many of your team sitting at the collaboration table with him every day and so I appreciate how closely they work with him. Please be rest assured that he is fighting hard to get well and that he knows he has all of our support. Thank you again.”

At Infosys in Australia and New Zealand, we are volunteering as amateur chefs to support organizations and charities who are helping to sustain those in need within the community. It is also a chance for Infoscions to interact with each other in a different environment. Not only is volunteering fun and relaxing, the spirit of camaraderie found in a kitchen is sometimes an extra source of inspiration for the team.
