Well, I think it would be interesting to start with the reason behind the ideia that led to the creation of Refood...
So, Refood is an independent, citizen driven, 100% volunteer, eco-humanitarian community charity, working to eliminate food waste and hunger on a neighborhood basis. Refood operates in, of and for the community, working without salaries and avoiding any and all costs / investments that do not serve its mission. Refoodโs low cost / high productivity model improves the quality of life of people in need while strengthening the social fabric of the local community.
People working in the kitchens of the food source partners invest a few minutes saving good excess food into Refood provided packages instead of throwing it away. Hundreds of Refood volunteers invest a very few hours once a week in food collection, packaging or distribution. Each small personal investment along the way accumulates into a significant return for all involved.
In 2019, this organization was able to provide food to thousands of people, while preventing tons of food from being, literally, wasted! Take a look at the amazing numbers, below:
