CurrentSurplus to Supper helps to bridge the gap between food waste and food poverty. Founded in 2017 in Sunbury-on-Thames, they have been active in sourcing and distributing surplus food to those in need and fundraising for local food banks and other charities.There are 4 strands to the charity:1. Food RedistributionFresh food that would otherwise have gone to waste is redistributed for free to support local foodbanks, schools, care homes, shelters, clubs, religious organisations and more. This is on a substantial scale with the charity currently collecting and donating on average 10 tonnes of food per week.2. Surplus KitchenThe Surplus Kitchen is run by a professional chef cooking surplus food. Our ethos is to provide one free meal for charity from each meal sold at the café (Buy One Feed One Free).3. Surplus ShopEvery weekend there is a Surplus Shop where we provide good quality food which would otherwise go to waste. The Surplus Shop is for everyone in our community who needs fresh produce. We ask for a mindful donation which will help us to continue supporting local foodbanks, charities, school lunch projects and community groups across the local area.4. EventsWe provide good quality surplus food right across the food industry for any occasion and all meals provided by Surplus to Supper are part of our 'Buy One Feed One Free' initiative: providing free meals for people in need within our community. www.surplustosupper.org
