OzHarvest Kitchen Tea Towel

By Expressions Fundraising Australia on 06 February 2015

At Expressions Fundraising Australia, we believe in the power of creativity, community, and keepsakes that make a difference. When OzHarvest, one of Australia’s most impactful food rescue charities, looked for a fun and meaningful way to raise funds, they chose the tea towel fundraiser with Expressions, and the results were truly inspiring.

From Kitchen to Community Impact

OzHarvest’s first order of Expressions tea towels was included in their DIY organic bread packages. Families not only received the tools to bake fresh bread, but also a beautifully designed tea towel keepsake that could be treasured for years. These fundraising tea towels quickly became a talking point at the table, allowing families to share homemade food and stories while also supporting a greater cause.

A Design Loved by All

The cheery tea towel design was so well received that OzHarvest went on to make a second large order. This time, the tea towels were sold directly as part of their efforts to build kitchens for communities in need across Australia. It proved that a simple yet practical product can make a big difference when tied to a meaningful mission.
