The vast majority of food waste occurs in the supply chain before it ever reaches a supermarket shelf. Working with hundreds of food sites across the UK we save quality surplus from food retailers – enough for 100,000 meals a week.

We collect 40% of the food we intercept and receive daily deliveries at our regional centres where volunteers pick, pack and deliver from. Alongside this we provide employability support to volunteers who are far from the job market (soft, technical and on the job skills).

Our volunteers then redistribute to over 400 charities, schools and community groups across Yorkshire. Community groups can sign up to receive weekly orders of food from us to cover their main food needs.

The 400 organisations we supply don’t just use food as a patch to cover the problem for a few hours or days. We partner with organisations that want to tackle the underlying problems behind the hunger, using food as a way to meet people’s immediate needs so together they can address the reasons that keep them in hardship.
