OUR STORY

Introduction: Welcome to Faith in Food Foundation, a grassroots initiative dedicated to addressing two pressing issues - food wastage and the cost of living crisis. Our mission is to collect excess consumable food from restaurants and redistribute it to the community, creating a win-win situation that benefits both businesses and individuals.

About Us: At Faith in Food Foundation, we believe in the power of community-driven solutions. Our team consists of passionate individuals committed to making a positive impact on the environment and the well-being of our neighbours. By collaborating with local restaurants, we aim to tackle food wastage while supporting those facing financial challenges.

The Problem: Food wastage is a significant issue globally, with a considerable amount occurring in the restaurant industry. At the same time, many individuals and families struggle to afford nutritious meals due to the rising cost of living. Faith in Food Foundation seeks to bridge this gap by channeling surplus food from local restaurants to those in need.

How It Works:

1. Restaurant Partnerships: We collaborate with local restaurants that share our commitment to reducing food wastage and supporting the community. Participating establishments contribute excess, unsold, or surplus food that is still fresh and safe for consumption.

2. Volunteer Network: Our dedicated team of volunteers plays a crucial role in collecting and redistributing the food. Volunteers are responsible for coordinating with partner restaurants, collecting food donations, and ensuring proper storage and transportation.

3. Distribution to the Community: Collected food is then distributed to local community centres, shelters, and individuals facing food insecurity. This ensures that the surplus food reaches those who need it the most, contributing to the fight against hunger.

Benefits:

1. Reduced Food Wastage: By redirecting surplus food from restaurants to those in need, we play a role in minimising food wastage and its environmental impact.

2. Community Support: Faith in Food Foundation actively contributes to alleviating the cost of living crisis by providing nutritious food to individuals and families facing financial challenges.

3. Collaborative Impact: Through partnerships with local businesses, we create a collaborative environment where everyone, from restaurants to volunteers, can contribute to positive change in their community.
