Second Bite

SecondBite began in 2005 with one couple – Ian and Simone Carson. Gathering a committed group of friends, they would visit market stalls in Melbourne at the end of a day, collect surplus food, and drop it to a local charity that ran a food program. In 2011, Coles and SecondBite formed a national partnership, which led to a rapid expansion of our organisation’s operational scale and reach.

Julie Dwyer is the new head of marketing and communications at SecondBite and came to know the organisation after doing regular volunteer market collections with her family several years ago. Julie has worked in marketing,  communications and stakeholder management roles across the health, NPO, education and manufacturing sectors.
