Helping out this afternoon on deliveries for The Real Junk Food Project this afternoon, we've swiftly got through all of the donated cardboard boxes and are having to use the fruit & veg crates.
This led to a bit of delicate placement needed so as not to squash anything, especially as I was in a much smaller car today, but we managed to squeeze 12 crates into a polo which isn't too bad going.
A sedate jaunt (lest the jenga pile collapsed) over to the outskirts of Bradford through Wyke, Low Moor and Oakenshaw on a gorgeous sunny afternoon takes me up to 100 deliveries, might have been a few more but the routeplanning genius back at base had left for the day, so only one route completed.
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.
