Thank you for your support this year
It has been a busy year here at City Harvest! In January, we expanded our operation’s capacity to rescue food with a new mezzanine floor at our Acton HQ. Throughout the year, we’ve hosted and been part of a host of events, launched 3 Value Reports, and delivered much-needed free food to 125,000 Londoners every week via our network of community partners. Fast forward to Autumn and Winter when we celebrated a Decade of Difference, reached the milestone of delivering over 60 million meals and opened a permanent food rescue site at New Covent Garden Market.
Your support is vital to what we do here at City Harvest.
Whether you volunteer your time, donate your food business surplus, or donate to our cause to keep our operation on its feet and our vans rolling. From everyone here at City Harvest, we thank you and wish you a Happy New Year.
