Food Hub
Today's society is characterized by an abundance of food, about a third of which is wasted. At the same time, we see people in a vulnerable social position, (social, psychological, financial or intellectual) often have limited access to healthy and varied food. Poverty and loneliness are important factors here and are a growing problem in our society. As initiators of the Food Hub, we want to address this unfair distribution.
Daarom is in september 2023 een nieuw initiatief ontstaan dankzij de samenwerking tussen Huis van Compassie, VoedselSurplus, Plan_A, municipality of Nijmegen and Doen Foundation
What do we do?
Our core business is collecting surplus food from local farms, urban gardens and supermarkets. This food is then distributed by volunteers to social eating initiatives and neighborhood restaurants. Here everyone, regardless of background or financial situation, can enjoy a healthy meal. Every week we collect an average of 500 kg of food, providing 1,500 meals for 25 social eating initiatives.
Join in!
At the Food Hub Nijmegen, we believe in the power of compassion, both for food and for each other. Whether you want to become a volunteer, donor, supplier, or social restaurant, your contribution makes a difference. Together we build a fair, sustainable future. Together, let's fight against food waste and poverty, because together we are stronger.
