Redditch, UK: FareShare and Oakland International have saved multiple tonnes of food from going to waste over the past 18 months.
Dale Fiddy, non-executive director, Oakland, said, “Our ongoing FareShare partnership keeps on going from strength to strength with last year’s food savings speaking volumes.
“Of the millions of meals provided they have directly benefitted people in our society most in need including families struggling with the cost-of-living crisis to the homeless, and it’s extremely important that together we continue to develop and expand our capabilities and increase the amount of support we provide to the FareShare team.”
Carl Hawkes, Director of Operations at FareShare: “We’re incredibly grateful to the support from Oakland International, who have been instrumental in helping us tackle the environmental impact of food waste in order to support our network of charities and community groups across the UK. Working with Oakland has allowed us to develop innovative schemes to extend the shelf life of food, reducing carbon emissions while getting food to people who need it.”
