Simply.... to collect and deliver fresh food to feed the vulnerable people of our community in these unprecedented times of COVID-19. UKHarvest is a not for profit food rescue organisation, delivering surplus perishable food to charitable organisations around the UK. WE HAVE DELIVERED OVER 50% OF OUR NORMAL ANNUAL SUPPORT IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS. The demand on UKHarvest has grown immensely during the COVID-19 emergency. As we continue to try to deliver food to our charity partners we are receiving new requests for help, from vulnerable people. UKHarvest is currently working overtime to respond to the rapidly changing situation around COVID-19 and ensure that the most vulnerable have access to the food they need.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Providing vulnerable people with a delicious fresh food. With this project, we aim to: • help to reduce malnutrition and hunger • reduce feelings of loneliness in times of social isolation • give access to information on how to reduce food waste and cook nutritious meals at home • help the environment by ensuring that good food is being eaten rather than going to landfill, minimising food waste and saving our environment by preventing tonnes of carbon emissions from polluting the atmosphere.
Steps to get it done:
Front line service delivery in the Covid-19 outbreak.

VolunteerUKHarvest is a for-impact perishable food rescue operation, which collects quality excess food from commercial outlets and delivers it, direct and free of charge, to charities that support vulnerable people in West Sussex. Since our establishment in March 2017, we have built a strong foundation, drawing on support from our communities, local government and our Patron, HRH Duchess of Cornwall, to educate and nourish thousands of vulnerable people. We want to help thousands more, but we require financial support to realise this vision.
Our purpose is to Nourish Our Nation. We fulfil our purpose through a business model and core values that focus on our four pillars:
1. Rescue excess food and deliver it to those in need;
2. Educate communities, vulnerable and non-vulnerable alike;
3. Engage with the corporate sector, communities and individuals;
4. Innovate and revolutionize the way food is being rescued and used to support vulnerable people. We pride ourselves on our partnerships to innovatively tackle issues around malnutrition and waste.
