00:00All of this food, otherwise destined for landfill, has been salvaged and given a second chance.
00:13We could pick up so much more food but we only have the capacity of fire vehicles.
00:19OzHarvest's supermarket in Adelaide's inner north provides free groceries to anyone doing it tough, no questions asked.
00:26We try and do everything we can with dignity. We have a social worker on site to support them because we know that food insecurity is not an isolated matter.
00:35For Tammy, who recently became homeless after being evicted from her rental, it's made a world of difference.

00:47Jay works part-time and is a full-time student and says he's also come to rely on the service.
00:53People like to think that you're not trying hard enough or you're just lazy or a layabout and you just need to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and try harder and it'll work out for you, which is just not the case.
01:04OzHarvest's latest data from a survey of 874 charities across the country found 77% reported an increase in demand over the last year, with 31% of recipients seeking help for the first time.
01:19I myself am struggling and I see a lot of people around me that are struggling.
01:23It's a growing concern for the charity and the many others struggling to meet surging demand.
01:28As much as what we're doing is really important for people, it would be lovely to think that one day we didn't have to have a market.
01:36But with this market averaging 200 guests a day, that wish is unlikely to come true any time soon.
