We rescue good, surplus food from the food industry that cannot be sold and would otherwise go to waste. This is high-quality and nutritious, including a high proportion of fresh fruit and vegetables, baked goods, salads, meat and fish. We collect or receive food from over 1000 suppliers, including supermarkets, wholesalers, farms, restaurants and delis.
We then sort and then deliver this food to over 1000 front-line charities, food banks, homeless shelters, schools and so many other organisations in London. This way, food that would have gone to waste is reaching vulnerable people, homeless people or the growing number of those who simply cannot afford to buy regular, healthy food.
1.5 million adults in London struggle to afford to eat every day, 400,000 children are at risk of missing the next meal. Meanwhile, our food industry generates almost 2 million tonnes of good, edible surplus food each year.
