PLAN ZHEROES-THE ZERO FOOD WASTE HEROES

Plan Zheroes has a simple mission to ensure no good food will go to waste and no one will live in food poverty. We act as a broker between local business and charities. We have developed an app incorporating a map which makes it simple to match surplus food available from businesses to charities. Our team of volunteers helps to create, maintain and develop the relationships between the two.
