In a significant initiative to mark World Egg Day on October 10, 2025, Australian Eggs has announced the donation of 31,200 eggs to social enterprise Two Good Co. This contribution is expected to help deliver 30,000 nutritious meals to women experiencing crisis, including those affected by homelessness and domestic violence.
As food insecurity continues to be a pressing issue in Australia, this partnership aims to ensure that this essential food source reaches those who need it most. The donation comes at a time when egg supply is robust, with a record 7 billion eggs consumed nationwide in 2025. Current statistics indicate that egg consumption has risen to an average of 267 eggs per person annually.
Celebrity Support and Community Impact
To commemorate World Egg Day, renowned TV personalities Khanh Ong and Alice Zaslavsky will participate in a cooking event alongside the Two Good team. They will prepare two dishes: an Asian-Inspired Smoked Salmon Frittata and a Melt & Mix Chocolate Slab Cake. These meals will be packaged for distribution to vulnerable women, emphasizing the role of community in addressing food needs.
Rowan McMonnies, Managing Director at Australian Eggs, expressed the significance of the donation, stating, “Egg consumption is growing, and World Egg Day is all about celebrating the positive impact eggs have in our lives—from their role as a nutrient-rich staple to the way they can bring people together over a meal.” His comments highlight the societal importance of eggs as a source of nutrition and community connection.
The founder of Two Good Co, Rob Caslick, echoed this sentiment, stating, “We are so grateful to Australian Eggs for this donation, which will allow us to create thousands of meals for women living in crisis.” He emphasized the importance of cooking with purpose, noting how partnerships like this one significantly impact the lives of those in need.
Get Involved This World Egg Day
Australians are encouraged to engage with the initiative by exploring Two Good’s Gifts for Good program, which includes a new cookbook collection titled Sweet Memories. Proceeds from this collection will directly support meal preparation for women in crisis, making it easier for the public to contribute to this vital cause.
For those interested in celebrating World Egg Day at home, Australian Eggs provides various recipe inspirations and ideas to highlight the versatility of eggs. As a member-owned, not-for-profit organization, Australian Eggs is dedicated to supporting local egg farmers through marketing, research, and development services.
This collaborative effort underscores the essential role of community and nutrition in addressing the challenges faced by vulnerable populations, demonstrating that even a simple egg can foster significant change.
