Just like in June, these items will be delivered to Feed it Forward, our charity of choice, 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 over 150,000 local families by redirecting 1500 tonnes of food from waste. This delivers environmental, social, and economic benefits for our community.
