The food rescue operation is the foundation of Chefs with Compassion’s ability to provide nutritious ingredients for meals to our network of kitchens. Our sincere thanks to every individual and organisation involved in the rescue of fresh produce and groceries – from the Joburg Produce Market, local farmers, food manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers.
At our sharehouse in City Deep, products are sorted, and good produce goes to the kitchens who collect quantities according to the number of people and the frequency they cook for and feed. Produce unfit for human consumption goes to composting and pig farmers.
NOSH Food Rescue NPC is a key food rescuer. NOSH was established in 2015to reduce food insecurity by diverting and repurposing prepared and perishable surplus nutritious food, and redistributing to soup kitchens, shelters and feeding schemes, and since May 2020, to Chefs with Compassion.
A growing number of food donors also contribute to the rescue of products reaching sell-by dates, adding nutrition and flavour to the meals produced by the Kitchens in our compassionate network.
