Today, I participated in a community activity that takes place every Monday at the South Ealing Community Food Cupboard. This project aims to reduce food waste and carbon emissions by redistributing surplus food to members of the community.

During this activity, we received surplus food from supermarkets (such as the Felix Project) and local market traders. We then sorted and organized the food in a way that was suitable for distribution to those in need.

A large number of people visited today, and it was heartwarming to see the gratitude and joy on their faces as they received the food.

This type of volunteer work brings me happiness and satisfaction, helping me build good relationships within the local community. It also gives me the opportunity to contribute to reducing waste and making a positive impact.

I always believe that: To be happier, you must make others happy by helping them.

South Ealing Community Food Cupboard
The SEC Food Cupboard will offer good quality surplus food items to anyone who would like to come and collect them for their personal use.

The SEC Food Cupboard is a community project set up to reduce waste. A group of local volunteers receives/collects surplus food from the supermarkets (Eg via Felix Project) and makes it available to anyone and everyone from the local area. The SEC Food Cupboard is available to all – its aim is purely to reduce waste and everyone can help with that. Always Free! The selection of food items each week will vary according to what is surplus food on that day.
