Neighbourhood food rescue

Good food doesn't belong in the bin.

Every night, perfectly good meals get thrown out while families go without. We collect surplus from restaurants, grocers, events and homes — and get it onto plates within hours.

Pickups run 7 days a week, 7am – 10pm

"We used to bin forty portions every night. Now a driver is at our back door by ten and that food is at the shelter before eleven. It changed how my whole team feels about closing time."
