Overview
Since their founding, City Harvest have created an operation that delivers millions of meal ingredients from surplus food collections to hundreds of charities in London each year. In addition to providing healthy food to those in need, their activities reduce the use of landfill rubbish disposal for positive environmental impact and provide volunteering opportunities to those struggling to achieve stability in their lives.There remains considerable unmet demand for meals in the capital, but the limiting factor is becoming the availability of food within a reasonable distance. Therefore, the next phase of their evolution will see an expansion of operations outside of London and they have transformed their storage and distribution facilities to maximise their food collection capacity. City Harvest's impact is already impressive, and they have scope to improve further as economies of scale are achieved.
