Great stuff from this food waste charity - they're doing food packages and meals, and are also looking for volunteers.
Hope this is useful to any posters in the area.
*"We can deliver food to those who are able to pay for the food, in order to fund it for those who can’t. We are looking for volunteers to help us with this vital work.
"This is different to our usual work where we intercept perfectly edible food destined for landfill and use it to feed bellies not bins. We are getting donations from food businesses that are closing as well as buying food from wholesalers to make this work.”
By using donation made via a Go Fund Me page and selling Freegan Boxes of mixed goods priced at £10 and £5, TRJFP plans to raise enough money to pay for food as well as distributing all that is being donated.
The charity is going to start mass catering with the food it receives and is working with local restaurants and businesses to set up hubs for the effort.
Volunteers will be cooking and freezing meals that can then be distributed to those who need them, including those in isolation. The pre-cooked meals will be included in ‘isolation packs’ along with other essential items, fruit and vegetables.
Collection points will also be set up in each of the cities for NHS workers to come and collect boxes of food."*
