Today's installment of helping out at The Junk Food Project had me taking out their Freegan boxes for delivery rather than the christmas hampers. The concept is to pull together dietary specific food crates, particularly focusing getting decent quantity of the best freshest fruit and veg but taking into account Gluten Free/Vegetarian/Vegan requirements, plus some additional ethical toiletries. A fantastic hamper for a minimal contribution for the amount of food delivered helps contribute to the running costs and helps to support the free christmas hamper meals
It took some time to get the final crates packed, but then off to an epic journey - the Christmas Hamper routes are packed close together to maximise efficiency but these are tad more spaced out as there are few of them so a tour of Morley, Batley, Heckmondwike, Mirfield, Cleckheaton, Bramley, Armley, Wortley, Holbeck and Hunslet ensued
Far fewer recipients not at home too for this batch (as they were all waiting for their foods!) and the crate left in the bin was their instruction not my crazy idea, honest!!

A revolutionary concept designed to challenge and highlight the issues of food waste while creating inclusive environments where everyone is welcome.
The Real Junk Food Project is the founding Community Interest Company of The Real Junk Food Project global network and has empowered and inspired hundreds of similar projects worldwide. It is a revolutionary concept designed to challenge and highlight the issues of food waste while creating inclusive environments where everyone is welcome. Consisting of cafés, outside catering, events, Sharehouse: TRJFP and Kindness into Schools, it uses the Pay As You Feel Concept to utilise surplus food, educate the general public and campaign against global issues that food waste creates. We intercept surplus food from a wide range of places including supermarkets, restaurants, wholesalers, food banks, food photographers and using common sense and decades of experience make a judgement on whether the food is fit for human consumption.
