The Storehouse
The Storehouse is our ‘wholesale’ food hub, tackling food poverty and food waste by intercepting surplus and unwanted food from partners across Bradford, sorting and storing it, and redistributing it to people in need.
We distribute this intercepted food to FoodSavers outlets and other groups across Bradford, who use it in their provision to communities and groups around the district – whether that be afternoon snacks for activity centres working with disadvantaged children, lunch clubs for refugees and asylum seekers or community meals for the elderly or isolated.
Where our food comes from
Our partners donate food that is ‘unwanted’, which could be because they have over-ordered / over-produced, or because the food is nearing or past its best before date. All of our food is safe and of excellent quality, merely surplus to somebody else’s requirements.
Our food partners include supermarkets, wholesalers, local markets and other local traders.
Since we started, we have intercepted over 950 tonnes of food that would have otherwise gone to landfill.
If your charity or community organisation would be interested in benefiting from our food supply, please get in touch.
Likewise, if you are a food business that would like an outlet for your good quality surplus food then please let us know.
