Second Harvest Food Rescue

How it works

From surplus to a plate in Bristol

Here's what happens between a supermarket's surplus and a meal on a Bristol table.

1

We collect

Our drivers collect surplus food from Bristol supermarkets and farms before it's thrown away, picking up pallets straight from the shelf, the stockroom or the field.

2

We sort

Volunteers at our St Philips warehouse check and sort every delivery each day, ready to match surplus food to the kitchens, schools and food banks that need it most.

3

We deliver

Food goes out across Bristol the same day it arrives, delivered quickly to community kitchens, schools and food banks that are ready to serve it.

4

We serve

Local cooks and volunteers turn that rescued food into warm meals for neighbours facing food insecurity in community kitchens, schools and food banks across Bristol.

Why it works

Food rescued fast, shared locally

Every pallet we collect is matched to a kitchen or food bank the same day.

✓

Same-city collection

We collect surplus straight from Bristol supermarkets and farms, so food moves quickly to where it's needed.

✓

Volunteer-powered

Volunteers welcome — no experience needed. Our teams sort, pack and deliver every day across the city.

✓

Registered charity

We're a registered charity in England and Wales, rescuing food for Bristol's community kitchens, schools and food banks.
