In October, we saved around 62.7 tonnes of surplus food, the largest amount we’ve ever saved in a single month! But as the amount of food we’re saving grows, so does demand.

We need your help to keep up with this rising need.💚

In August, we saved around 43.5 tonnes of surplus!

To put that into context, that’s the equivalent of 98,943 meals🍽️ or 18 Rhinos or the weight of 19 of our Oxford Food Hub vans!

A massive thank you to all our volunteers who helped sort this surplus food and deliver it to those who need it! 💚
