Goal
FoodCloud is an Irish social enterprise that exists first and foremost to reduce the environmental, social and economic impact of food waste by redistributing surplus food to our network of Charity and Community Group partners. FoodCloud's ambition is to support the global community of food banks and share our technology and expertise. FoodCloud Hubs works with food businesses nationwide who have volumes of surplus food, such as farms, manufacturers and distributors to manage ad-hoc and regular supplies of surplus as efficiently as possible. The FoodCloud Kitchen offers a food truck experience with a difference for your event, serving delicious food that is saving the planet with a generous side of social impact as all profits generated from the FoodCloud Kitchen are reinvested into our core activities of redistributing surplus food to over 600community and voluntary organisations across the country.
