Deliveries again for The Real Good Food Project today, we had an update midweek that we'd broken their record for deliveries at 460 something, and then we broke that again today with 600+ I believe.

True to form a bit of organised chaos, with all hands to the deck to finish off packing crates, and deliverisers arriveing and carting off freshly packed boxes faster than we could get them out to the cars, but proud to have helped in a small way getting these out across West Yorkshire of the last couple of weeks.

Routes today were Leeds, then multiple trips to Bradford (Oh Manchester Road how I have NOT missed you) with a quick stop mid morning to litterpick at Potternewton park and celebrate Katie's 50th task (hence taking the cape for a spin)

The Real Junk Food Project
A revolutionary concept designed to challenge and highlight the issues of food waste while creating inclusive environments where everyone is welcome.

The Real Junk Food Project is the founding Community Interest Company of The Real Junk Food Project global network and has empowered and inspired hundreds of similar projects worldwide. It is a revolutionary concept designed to challenge and highlight the issues of food waste while creating inclusive environments where everyone is welcome. Consisting of cafés, outside catering, events, Sharehouse: TRJFP and Kindness into Schools, it uses the Pay As You Feel Concept to utilise surplus food, educate the general public and campaign against global issues that food waste creates. We intercept surplus food from a wide range of places including supermarkets, restaurants, wholesalers, food banks, food photographers and using common sense and decades of experience make a judgement on whether the food is fit for human consumption.
