Still Good Food

Bury Saint Edmunds, UK

Still Good Food aims to reduce the amount of food that is wasted by redistributing surplus food donations, mainly from large and small retailers, through our shops in Bury St Edmunds and Great Barton on a 'pay as you feel' basis. We accept donations from a number of local businesses, farmers and individuals and not only pass it onto our shop customers but also onto a number of local charities and organisations like food banks, community cafes, etc. Although our main aim is to reduce the amount of food that is wasted in the UK we are also very keen to support those on low incomes through providing good quality food at low cost. The project is run almost entirely by volunteers, from those manning the shop to all our collections and deliveries. We are always looking for new volunteers to help us to open more often, for longer hours and to ensure that less and less food is wasted and more and more food is redistributed.
