Clean up the Kingston Surplus Food Hub
Bridge the gap between food waste and food insecurity
About this session
Kingston Surplus Food Hub is a new initiative run by Kingston Voluntary Action to help reduce food waste and increase food security. A very real problem with the food chain is that sometimes supermarkets are overstocked with a certain item which when not bought in quanitity by the shoppers can go to waste. KSFH wants to use excess food stock and create delicious meals to be handed out to those that may not have the kitchen facilities or the money to do the same. They have asked for our help las they have lots of tasks to do.
Our task list includes cleaning all the walls, floors, doors and surfaces within 3 kitchen rooms, clean up the food storage shipping container and the van.
Meet at the Quaker Centre at 6.30pm for a 3.7km run there and a 3.7km run back. Please be aware that it's a slightly longer run than usual. If you would like to meet us there at 7pm the address is: Malden Centre, Blagdon Road, New Malden, KT3 4TA. The meeting point on What3Words is ///chained.fight.factories
