How does foodsharing work?
What? We pick up leftover food (they cannot sell anymore) from our partners: currently Odin & three stalls at the market. We then bring the food to our fridge at Nieuwelaan 50 and share it; with others, by organizing dinners together, or by using it at home.
When? Every Saturday afternoon, at 17:00.
How much do I have to carry? It’s great to bring a big backpack, some sturdy big bags you can hang on your handlebar, and/or saddlebags.
Can I take any of the saved food? Yes, please 🙂 Once we’re all at the fridge, everyone can pick some things out, that they will eat for sure. Please make sure you leave enough for others and do not only take the prime pieces. Only take large quantities, if it looks like nobody else is going to. Remember that some people will also come later or the next days.
How to participate? We coordinate the pick ups in our WhatsApp group. You can simply drop a mail at delftfoodsharing@gmail.com or a message on Instagram, and we will add you to the WhatsApp group.
Our partners
Odin
Odin in Delft is a food-cooperative (customers can become co-owners), driven by ideals. Their motto is “winning is not all about money”. In that spirit, they also hate food-waste.
Every Saturday at 17h15-17h30 we go there to pick up whatever they could not sell in time.
Market
Every Saturday there is an open-air farmer’s market in the city center. We work with four market stalls there.
At 17:00 we meet at the south end of the Brabantse Turfmarkt on the Turftonstersbrug and then go together to specific food stalls we have a cooperation with.
Food distribution / The Fridge
After picking up the food, we bring it to our Fridge in the Nieuwelaan 50, near the Sint Sebastiaansbrug (see map). Everyone is welcome to take or leave any food they no longer need at any time. When using our community fridge, we ask you to follow our guidelines (posted on the fridge).
