These non-perishable food items will be distributed to Feed it Forward.
Feed it Forward is a not-for-profit charity, whose core mission is to save surplus food from landfill by diverting it to communities in need. In 2022 alone their team of volunteers were able to assist 150,000 local families by redirecting 1500 tonnes of food from waste – the equivalent of over 300 adult Asian elephants!
