Richard Whitaker.
A furloughed airline captain in Perth has shared his delight that his voluntary work has helped a community Food Share initiative take off in its first year.
Richard Whitaker has volunteered at the South Perth Community Food Share since January after being furloughed in March last year from his job working for a major holiday airline.
While not being at work, the 57-year-old decided he wanted to put his days to good use and help out in the community.
So far, his efforts have helped save over five tonnes of food going to waste.
As the Food Share approaches its first anniversary on Saturday, the team of volunteers are celebrating its success.
