SUMMARY:Community Food Hub
DESCRIPTION:We redistribute fresh foods from Foodprint and Sanatan Food Bank\, saving their surplus veg from going straight to landfill. \n\nPop in during the regular Sumac Sunday Brunch or Wednesday pop-up cafe & warm hub\, or at other times on our events diary.\n\n\n\nSUMAC FOOD REDISTRIBUTION\nFREE – PLEASE TAKE WHAT YOU CAN USE OR SHARE\n\nFood is a right\, not a privilege.\n\n\nFood poverty\, the inability to afford\, or to have access to\, food to make up a healthy diet\, affects 8-9% of the UK population. [Ref: Sustain]\n\n\nFood loss and waste accounts for 8-10% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions. [Ref: United Nations UNFCCC]\n\n\nThe Sumac Community can play a valuable role in tackling food waste.\n\nSurplus foods are shared with Sumac by Sanatan Food Bank and FoodPrint. As well as being good for the Sumac Community\, we provide a valued service to them by helping reduce their waste\, which would otherwise go to landfill or incineration. \nThis\, together with an option of sharing our surplus with Sherwood Exchange and local animal rescues\, gives SIX opportunities for these foods to be consumed! \nIt is the obsession with perfection by the food industry and supermarkets that is driving the food waste crisis.\nThe planet benefits by surpluses being diverted from landfill\, even if it ultimately ends up making compost for the Sumac Garden. \nfood.gov.uk recommends a visual check or the ‘smell test’ to assess the quality of fruit and veg\, or packaged foods with a ‘best before‘ date. Packaged foods should not be given or taken if past its ‘use-by‘ date. Our volunteers make every effort to check that everything is edible\, vegan and not subject to an ethical boycott. Please draw any inappropriate goods to our attention. \nWe need more help. \nIf you value this initiative\, please ask how you can support our work. \n\nFor more information see the Community Food Hub post by Veggies.\n\nYou could also read or share the latest version of the Sumac Food Redistribution flier.\n
