City Harvest is an excellent charity supported by the Livery Food Initiative that very successfully takes surplus food from the City (from supermarkets to the Savoy) and provides nutritious meals - over 1.2 million a month - to food banks and schools in need.
This year our donation has also helped its van and truck rescue 230 tons of food that would otherwise be wasted, the equivalent of over half a million meals, and establish a New Covent Garden site to collect surplus produce.
Unfortunately, food poverty is the new normal and there are now more food banks than McDonald’s in London."
