Every day, you’re helping to make sure food doesn’t go to waste – by making sure it reaches the people who need it most. By doing this, it improves people’s health and wellbeing and it helps the planet too. 😊
Food plays a huge part in our health and wellbeing. Having food to eat helps keep us well and sustains us. And knowing that we are working or volunteering in a project which helps others, helps our own well being too.
Sharing food with others is also a huge step in reducing the amount of food which gets wasted. Take a look below for extra hints and tips on what else we can do to help improve the health and wellbeing of our staff and volunteers and to reduce food waste in our work places and our homes.
