Do you ever wonder what happens with left over food?
Why throw out food good enough to eat?
This is the question posed by a new project, Nourished for Nil, which will start collecting food this month destined for landfill and redirecting it into Hawke's Bay tummies. The group, based in Hastings, will collect unsold goods from Hawke's Bay cafes and bakeries which would end up heading to landfill then take them to a site in central Hastings for anyone to collect.
The food will be safe to eat, but deemed unable to be sold by stores.
