KVA's Surplus to Supper Hub Aims

Nourishing Lives

Our aim is to ensure that our community experiencing food insecurity has access to healthy, nutritious food. By redistributing surplus food to those in need, we help improve diets and overall well-being, particularly for vulnerable individuals and families.

Reducing Waste

We are committed to minimising food waste by collecting surplus food from local sources and redistributing it efficiently. This not only helps the environment but also promotes sustainable practices within our community.

Supporting Communities

Our goal is to foster a strong, connected community by providing food to various organisations, hosting community events, and encouraging volunteerism. Through these efforts, we build a supportive network that enhances the quality of life for all residents.
