Out on deliveries again today for The Real Junk Food Project, on arrival it was all hands to the deck to transfer the prepacked plastic crates across to hastily assembled cardboard boxes to get the first few loads out the door. (plastic crates don't come back!)
Cleared a few more routes today with a de-brambling task sandwiched in the middle, touring Flockton and Liversedge, from Crigglestone to Cleckheaton, lost count of box numbers now but a good day's good deed done..
The Real Junk Food Project is the founding Community Interest Company of The Real Junk Food Project global network and has empowered and inspired hundreds of similar projects worldwide. It is a revolutionary concept designed to challenge and highlight the issues of food waste while creating inclusive environments where everyone is welcome. Consisting of cafés, outside catering, events, Sharehouse: TRJFP and Kindness into Schools, it uses the Pay As You Feel Concept to utilise surplus food, educate the general public and campaign against global issues that food waste creates. We intercept surplus food from a wide range of places including supermarkets, restaurants, wholesalers, food banks, food photographers and using common sense and decades of experience make a judgement on whether the food is fit for human consumption.
