Today is #WorldFoodDay, and we’re proud to partner with City Harvest London in the fight against hunger right here in London! We believe in using our resources for good and together with City Harvest, we’ve already provided 5.4 tonnes of food which gave over 12,840 meals to shelters, community kitchens and schools across our beautiful city. By rescuing food for human consumption we prevented 17.3 tonnes of GH emissions! But we’re not stopping there. Every day, we work to reduce food waste and ensure that good food doesn’t go to waste, but instead, reaches those in need. Together, we can make a difference and help combat hunger in our community. Join us in this mission! Let’s work together to create a world where no one goes to bed hungry. #FoodForAll #CommunityStrong #endhungernow #worldfoodwasteday #food #foodwaste #classicfinefoods #classicfinefoodsuk
