POW Food was founded by mother and daughter duo Alison and Emily Warburton in early 2018 as they wanted to ‘educate and inspire’ people through providing good food in the workplace.
POW Food will be donate 25p for every individual meal sold over the value of £7.50, with larger donations made through larger orders.
Alison Warburton, said: “We are thrilled to be working with City Harvest London, with the help of our clients we can make a direct impact on London’s homeless and food sustainability issues through their Meal for a Meal initiative. Our donations to City Harvest helps provide transportation and staff to collect and deliver donated food to those who need it most.”
Co-founder Emily, added: “City Harvest London offers a simple honest solution that our customers can understand and want to be a part off. Being a part of the Meal for a Meal programme doesn’t affect our sale prices, so does not directly impact the customer. Instead, it allows us to donate on their behalf. They get to make a huge impact just by facilitating the transaction.”
City Harvest works with over 300 community programs and 130 food donors across the city. The food insecurity charity will ensure surplus food is collected, stored and distributed in time to those who need it the most.
Laura Winningham, chief executive of City Harvest London, commented: “We couldn’t be happier to have POW Food onboard - their ethos and passion aligns with our own and are thrilled to welcome them to the family.
“The donations made from POW Food will help us, help those in need, as well as ensure more people are becoming aware of the work we are doing across the city to curb hunger and reduce food waste.”
