On 24th November, the Collective will be sharing parcels of delicious food to local food projects and community groups, just in time for the festive season which sees a rise in need for food donations. Dry goods, bread and fresh produce donated by local businesses including Infinity – which would otherwise go to waste – will be redistributed along with recipes and tips.

| Our August redistribution day at the Municipal Market on Circus Street |
The Food Waste Collective's next surplus redistribution day follows hot on the heels of the successful Lantern Fayre Harvest Feast in October which saw 1/2 tonne of food donations from local businesses transform into 1200 hot, delicious, free meals.

| Volunteers ready to dish out the savoury surplus. |
Our previous redistribution days have been held at University of Brighton, Moulsecoomb as well as the Municipal Market at Circus Street, a vibrant hub for community activity. But this time we bring Good Food for Good Causes to the recently refurbished Brighton Open Market, a location that is open to the public and sees a lot of footfall, as well as housing many local food businesses.

The event is open to the public. Visitors can find out about our work at our info stand and sign up to volunteer on future events. People will also be invited to add food-themed messages and images to our Bunting for Inspiration, made from re-purposed vinyl banners. Come join in!
