CRJO Food Donation Toolkit

The Food Donation Network was an EPA funded project which increased food donation in regional communities, with the benefit of diverting food waste from regional landfills and alleviating issues associated with food insecurity. Using an empowering and locally driven approach, the project engaged community groups and supermarkets to work together in sustaining a long-term food donation program.

The project reflected upon similar food donation programs and targeted Yass Valley Council, Hilltops Council, Goulburn Mulwaree Council, Wingecarribee Shire Council, Upper Lachlan Shire Council, Snowy Monaro Regional Council, Snowy Valleys Council and Eurobodalla Shire Council.

This toolkit will provide food donation resources for businesses and community groups, including tips for success, applications forms, food safety information, legal guidelines, and data collection tools.

It aims to raise awareness, build food relief capacity, and increase participation in regional food donation.
