[Let me tell you the story of the Oxford Food Bank, because it illustrates

Second, to prevent food waste.The set-up we have created we call
a ‘sustainable’ food bank, because all the food we distribute
would otherwise have been thrown away. And the quantities are huge.

given away more than one million pounds’ worth.
The food is donated by supermarkets and wholesalers.
And it’s all been done without a single penny of
public money coming our way.]
