Food Waste Hero.
Anyone can be a FWH. FWHs are usually people who
volunteer to pick up unsold surplus food from businesses to save it from going to waste. Many FWHs volunteer with OLIO, the food sharing app/website, to distribute the rescued food items for free, claim collection slots from various businesses, set up collections from new businesses, and
communicate with other FWHs and OLIO users. FWHs are usually a part of a Squad of
volunteers who collect surplus food from local businesses. They
bring it home, list it on the OLIO app, and redistribute the food to their neighbours and local community, who pick up the food, free of charge. FWHs help to reduce the large amounts of food waste being produced on a regular basis. Food waste is one of the biggest problems western civilizations are currently facing. Rescuing and sharing surplus food for free helps reducing the amount of landfill, helps people in need to access a large variety of amazing free food, and builds communities of people who care about our environment.
