Got food and drink items to give away? How about a food bank?

From time-to-time manufactures, suppliers, exporters, wholesalers and PR companies find themselves with food and drink stocks that are surplus to requirements

Nobody is happy with throwing food out and it's distressing to see examples of this when (usually US-based) dumpsterdiver YouTube channels show that retailers, etc have thrown away perfectly good food, even though it's sometimes nowhere near the best before or use by date.

However! There is an alternative to throwing good food away, food can be donated to food banks and other charitable groups.

Here is a list of some groups who would be pleased to take surplus stocks of food to make sure they are used to help people who are going through hard times:-

Incidentally, we at That's Food and Drink are involved with a couple of food banks local to us. You can Google "local food banks" to check out your area. Some churches run food pantry schemes.
