Food Rescue
Food waste in landfill is a major source of methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide. By rescuing edible food and diverting it from landfill, we are helping reduce those dangerous emissions.
With the help of over 100 food donors, we are rescuing more than 450,000 kilograms of edible food every year:
-food we then provide to people in need
-which is better for the environment with less damaging climate change emissions
Nothing ever goes to waste at Addi Road. If we don’t sell it, we repurpose it into nutritious meals to give away for free to people in need. And if any donation is not good enough to eat, we compost it for use on the gardens around our 9-acre Marrickville site.
Food Relief
Addi Road believes healthy affordable food is a human right. Our two well-stocked food pantries offer customers a wide choice of low-cost supermarket items and groceries, as well as free fruit and vegetables and free bread.
