Truckloads of leftover food donated as Ashes ends early – video

A huge surplus of food has been donated to charities across Western Australia after the Ashes Test wrapped up early. The warehouse full of food was intended for the third day of the Ashes Test, but never used as the game wrapped up inside two days. Optus Stadium, known as Perth Stadium for the duration of the first Test, directed all surplus food to OzHarvest, Australia’s leading food rescue service, which in turn partnered with SecondBite and Foodbank WA to distribute the food to those in need across the state. The organisation said it was the biggest single donation it had ever received in Western Australia
