FAQs

How does Surplus to Supper prevent food waste?

We work with local businesses to collect surplus food that they no longer need. Instead of letting this perfectly good food go to waste, we redistribute it through our market, catering services, and meal programs. This way, we ensure that surplus food is put to good use rather than being discarded.

How can I get involved with Surplus to Supper?

There are many ways to get involved! You can volunteer to help with food collection, preparation, and distribution. You can also support us by shopping at our market or hiring us to cater your events. Your involvement and support are crucial to our mission of reducing food waste and helping those in need.

The funds from our market sales are used to support our operations, including maintaining and expanding our fleet of vans. This financial support allows us to collect and distribute even more surplus food, thereby increasing our positive impact on the community.

What kind of events do you cater for?

We cater a wide range of events, from weddings and corporate gatherings to other special occasions. Our catering services feature 100% repurposed food, showcasing how delicious and versatile surplus food can be while promoting sustainability.

Who benefits from the free meals you provide?

The free meals we provide are intended for individuals and families in need within our local community. We collaborate with local charities and organisations to ensure that these nutritious and tasty meals reach those who need them most, helping to alleviate food insecurity.
