More than £15,000 worth of waste food from retailers, restaurants and supermarkets has been shared between good causes in Shropshire.The Community Food Project, based in Tan Bank, Wellington, launched in 2016 and thousands of pounds worth of food was collected this month alone.Food is collected seven days a week from restaurants and retailers, then immediately distributed to organisations which send the donations to those who are homeless, vulnerable or in need of support.
One generous team member from the Wellington Aldi store bought a whole trolley of store cupboard items, including tinned food and cereals, to add to the store’s donation. The refrigerated donations were sorted immediately on Christmas Eve and taken to A&E staff at Princess Royal Hospital in Telford. Retailers who provide food for the scheme include Aldi, Tesco, Asda, M&S and The Walnut restaurant in Wellington. The project relies on generous donations from the public and businesses to keep going.
