About the event
We invite supermarkets, restaurants and other local businesses in Melbourne to donate food with a short or imminent expiration date, such as vegetables, fruits, bread and so on. Although these foods can still be eaten, they cannot be sold due to the approaching expiration date, which is easy to be wasted. Holding activities to donate can reduce the amount of waste. At the same time, the source of food can be checked, and all the food is obtained from businesses with business licenses, so food safety can be guaranteed. Lay out the donated food. Volunteers distribute food to people in need, including the homeless and low-income families.
