FoodFilled Founders named in Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2026

We're incredibly proud to share that FoodFilled's co-founders, Belle Hayman and Benjamin Michelson, have been named in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2026 list — recognised in the Social Impact category alongside changemakers from across the Asia-Pacific region.

Belle and Benj started FoodFilled in 2018 as university students with a single bakery partnership and a simple idea: surplus food shouldn't go to waste when people in our community are going without. What began as a volunteer group has grown into a year-round food rescue operation that has delivered more than 1.1 million meals across Melbourne.

This recognition belongs to everyone who has been part of that journey — the 1,500_ volunteers who have given their time, the food retail partners who trust us with their surplus, and the food relief agencies who do the hard work of getting food to people who need it.

We're proud of where FoodFilled has come from, and even more excited about where it's headed.
