EFA regularly collect donated food from Nando’s in Exeter, for which we and its eventual recipients are very grateful, and we were delighted to learn in September that they had a small budget allocated to help a local charity, and had chosen us. This was incredibly generous and particularly timely because we’re in the gradual process of replacing old chest freezers with upright models, which are much more efficient and practical given the volumes of food we collect and deliver.
We’re hugely grateful to the property department at Nando’s UK & IRE, and to Chris Thomas at Fosters Refrigeration for the heavily discounted unit, which has now been delivered and is up and running in our warehouse, an enormous help in keeping our food fresh and ready for the 64 food banks and community groups we support.
