Today marks a very important day in our calendar.
Stop Food Waste Day is an opportunity to reflect on the transformation that donating surplus food can have on a community.
At Neighbourly, our dedicated charity network creates the foundation for everything we do.
One charity that perfectly exemplifies Neighbourly’s ethos is Maya's Community Support Centre. Maya and her team have been demonstrating what it means to transform lives through action since 2022, delivering over 449,240 meals and supporting 800 people weekly.
Maya’s Freeshop in Herne Bay, Kent is open 365 days a year and offers a wide range of food, as well as other support services, ensuring that the people they support are provided with a well-balanced meal every time they visit. The organisation collects from local supermarkets, turning food into fuel for the community and simultaneously reducing food waste.
