What do we take?
We don’t take waste. But we do take surplus (that you might think of as waste). If you have any, we’d love to discuss taking it from you.
Who do we want surplus from?
Any food producer, manufacturer, distributor or supplier in our local area, including:
Dairies
Bakeries
Butchers
Grocers
Farms & farm shops
Food production and processing companies
Independent retailers
Doesn’t SOFEA get all it needs from FareShare?
Our partnership with FareShare is what enables SOFEA to operate at scale. Every day, we rely on the surplus food FareShare sources from the major supermarkets to help supply our community food groups.
But new groups are asking us for help all the time, so we need to build our own pool of generous suppliers, and we want to fill any ‘food gaps’ we have. What better way to do it than with food that’s locally grown, sourced, produced or distributed?
Want to help?
We promise we’ll make this easy. To discuss your food surplus please get in touch with andy.e@sofea.uk.com.
