Supermarket Out Of Date Food to Food Bank Shop
Supermarkets in Bristol dump food that is still good to eat for their own business reasons
The number of Food Banks are growing as for whatever reason some people cant afford to buy food
If a supermarket for example took over one of the empty shops in Bristol then they could use one of their delivery lorries to daily take all the edible food that they chose to take off their shelves to THEIR shop which they could name as they chose
Then people with the correct vouchers ( there already exists a system ) can then obtain food
This is a Win Win Win Win Win situation
The supermarket gets good advertising
A shop gets re opened in Bristol
Some unemployed get a job in Bristol
The food gets eaten
Less people go hungry in 2013 in Bristol
Why the contribution is important
Some People for whatever reason cant afford to buy food
Supermarkets for purely business reasons remove edible food from their shelves and dump it
Food cost money and fuel costs to produce and ship across the World
Its basic common sense to give perfectly edible food to people who dont have any !!

Also, many supermarkets and other companies with a lot of waste actually donate to places like Fareshare now.

If Barnsley can do it, there is no reason Bristol can't!
