Story
City Harvest, which rescues nutritious surplus food and delivers to organisations that serve meals to vulnerable people, needs an additional van to fight hunger this winter.
One new van can deliver 50 tons of food this winter! This will be turned into 120,000 hot meals.
Sleeping rough is depressing, terrifying and physically damaging for the thousands who find themselves doing it night after night on London’s streets. As the temperature drops, many seek a warm meal and a place to sleep at winter night shelters. A City Harvest Winter Rescue Van could divert tons of high quality food from landfill, an environmental danger, and deliver to these venues, providing the nourishment that is the first step towards helping people regain their lives.
£25 serves 130 hot meals.
£50 serves a week of hot meals to an entire winter shelter.
£100 serves 500 wholesome meals.
£250 serves warm meals to 1,300 hungry people.
£500 serves shelter a hot meal for 3 months.
£1000 rescues 2 tons of food.
