We rescue fresh, surplus fruit and veg from farms where it would otherwise be wasted, and divert the produce from waste to local communities.
#foodwastewarriors
East Kent Gleaning Hub exists to connect community volunteers, farmers and food redistribution charities, in order to rescue the tonnes of fresh fruit and vegetables that are destined for waste on farms...

It's time to stop feeding climate change!
