Bike Share Service Ofo is Raising Funds for OzHarvest
Until December 23, each Ofo ride in Sydney and Adelaide will help feed a hungry Australian.
The dockless share bike phenomenon might have brought about some, ahem, issues, but one company is swapping the drama for something a little more positive.
Just a few weeks after its Australian launch (so far, only in Sydney and Adelaide), Beijing-born service Ofo is embracing the spirit of Christmas, teaming up with local food rescue organisation OzHarvest to help feed folks in need across the festive season.
For each Ofo ride taken in Sydney or Adelaide between December 18-23, the company has pledged to donate 50 cents to OzHarvest. That equates to one nourishing meal for a needy Australian every time someone hops on an Ofo bike.
What's more, Ofo's also offering users free rides throughout December, so being charitable needn't cost you a cent.
Each week, OzHarvest collects over 100 tonnes of excess food from commercial outlets across the country, to be delivered directly to local charities to feed Aussies in need.
