We've been to Kingston Voluntary Action's new project redistributing surplus food this summer and seen how it's been coming on.
Organiser Emma had a load of different tasks for us to do, from crushing boxes, sweeping, cleaning out their fridge as well as their van.
Anna, Amreet, Claire (expert power washer), Tom, Emma, Emily Luke, Levita, John (top leaf-blowing), Dave (skilful van driving), Rachel and first-timer Jonathan got involved in a bit of everything and we'd made a big difference by the end.
We didn't leave empty-handed, either. The great thing about a food hub is…food…and we got some water kefir and cacao bars for our trouble.
Nice to be back helping a very worthy cause.
We are creating a central location to collect and distribute surplus food within the borough, with a kitchen to process surplus food collected. We will be build a full commercial kitchen, along with a prep kitchen and large refrigerated storage.
