FOOD FOR THOUGHT

I published an article here some weeks ago about Fremantle chef Mark Woodcock wanting to find charities to take left over bread from a local bakery and the fact that he could not find anyone, so I am happy regular reader and comment writer Diana Ryan pointed me to the ALINTA newsletter and an article about FOOD RESCUE by Uniting Care West.

The article reports the organisation rescued 500,000 kilograms of food, or the equivalent of one million meals, for people in need, and that is absolutely fantastic.

So all you bakers, supermarkets, etc. in the Freo area, contact them and ask them to pick up the food you are up to now throwing away. It will help feed people in need and will make you feel good!
