About us
Who we are
City Harvest collects nutritious surplus food from manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers, and delivers, for free, to 350+ London charities feeding those facing food poverty. City Harvest rescues food, people, and planet by preventing food waste, providing life-changing support to communities in every London borough through food, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from waste.
City Harvest enables food companies with surplus to have an immediate positive social impact with a free sustainable solution.
Charity recipients include homeless shelters, hostels, soup kitchens, mental health charities, projects supporting the elderly and socially isolated, community kitchens, schools, family centres, children’s programmes, and domestic abuse refuges.
City Harvest tripled in size in 2020 to meet the demand of people facing food poverty, now distributing free food for more than 1 million meals a month.
