Food Drop utilises the power of technology, to provide a logistical service for food retailers to ensure their surplus food goes to those in need. The app connects retailers and charities with volunteers, who are looking for easy and flexible volunteering opportunities or partake in a small act of kindness.  

Volunteers can download the app, where they can sign up to collect food from a partnered retailer and drop it to a local charity. The drops can be booked spontaneously or planned for up to 14 days in advance. Many of our Food Droppers love walking or cycling to and from the charity, but we allow Food Droppers to select their preferred method of transport, although we always recommend the most environmentally friendly route! Once you have selected the food drop, we will handle the rest and our assistive app will guide you on the short journey. The app tracks your impact in the community, volunteering hours and rewards you with prizes from our partnered food retailers!

We at Food Drop emphasise how technology can be used to find solutions to food redistribution and encourage active citizenship within the local community.
