Our Christmas Eve task was to help the Food Rescue Project host a pop-up to give away donated food. 3 of us joined task member Ananda for the morning - collecting food from local shops and then being present at the pop-up.
Jo and Lucy channeled their inner Del Boy and Rodney and really got members of the public involved. It was a great morning and we ran out of food within a few hours.
This task supported
We rescue surplus food from supermarkets across the city and give it away to all via a publicly accessible fridge in Exeter Library in order to reduce food waste.
As above. We need volunteers to pick up surplus food from designated businesses and drop it off at the Community Fridge. Quantities of food can vary but we will aim to match individual volunteers to particular pick-ups. Pick-ups are usually in the morning and the fridge is open during library opening hours. We are primarily a sustainability initiative.
