An update from Food Rescue

April 14, 2013
To date, over 239,000 kg's of food saved and distributed to 35 agencies around WA!

Dear Food Rescuers,

We've made a steady start to 2013 and will soon be reaching the next milestone of 250,000 kg's rescued and distributed!

Food businesses around Perth have been getting right into the spirit with some great food donations including over 1000 kg's of organic produce and gluten free pantry items donated by Coles from the Gluten Free and Healthy Living Expo in March.

Our incredible team of loyal (and fun!) volunteers continues to increase with  volunteers working from our Belmont warehouse reaching just over 45! Thank you so much for your support and your tireless efforts in helping to reduce food waste and feeding people in need.

A massive thanks to the teachers, parents and the boys at Christ Church Grammar School (CCGS) who are doing a fantastic job with sorting fruit and vegetable produce twice a week at the school.  That's 20 boys a week who are getting involved with weighing, sorting and quality checking the produce, not to mention the parents and staff who keep it running so smoothly!
Check out their great work and more pics on the CCGS website-

A special mention to the crew at Atlas Iron for their support and their generous donation in January. You're vital support helps us to continue to feed people who really need it and we can't thank you enough!

If you'd like to get involved at Food Rescue we always need hands in the warehouse or drivers who are happy to collect and deliver the food. We'd love to hear from you!

On behalf of the board and the team at Food Rescue, thank you so much for your incredible support.

We couldn't do it without you!
