Best Before Café Community Interest Company

Active11252838HospitalityIncorporated 13 Mar 2018 · Letchworth Garden City

We rescued 82.9 tonnes of food and shared it with our community. We had 11K visits to the shop in the town centre in 2024/25. We continue to supply fresh food twice weekly to Letchworth & Hitchin Foodbanks. We also now supply Willian Foodbank with fresh fruit and veg once a week. We use our surplus money to keep Northfields infant school’s store cupboard Foodbank stocked. A supper club night raised funds for a food project in Icknield infant school’s Early Years unit. We have six food stalls in areas of social housing with a high density of children. These food stalls get the surplus we collect from Fare Share in Milton Keynes. We have a monthly membership with Fare Share which costs £600 a month. We receive 600kgs of surplus food a week from their warehouse in Milton Keynes.
