One third of the food we produce globally is wasted.\u00a0 <\/span>And yet 800 million people go to bed hungry every night. <\/span><\/p>\n

At Olio,\u00a0 we want to change that. So we rescue good, edible food from businesses and share it with people nearby.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Want to fight food waste, support your community and care for the planet? Become an Olio volunteer today.<\/span>

Rescue food from businesses near you\n<\/h2>\n \n \n

Store staff at businesses we work with will set aside food for you to collect. Most of our volunteers do this on foot or by bike.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n

\n\n \n
\n
\n

Share food with members of your community\n<\/h2>\n \n \n

You’ll then take that food home, take pictures of it, and list it on Olio’s app. People nearby will request it and collect it from you.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n
