Nourish TT is committed to reducing hunger and food waste in Trinidad & Tobago—with a simple social innovation. Using the Nourish TT website and app, food companies with surplus food connect directly with NGOs that serve the needy with much-needed sustenance.
August 2017 brought us a winning milestone: after just 18 months, we were able to redistribute enough surplus food to provide over 100,000 MEALS to those who need it the most!
Then, this October, in commemoration of World Food Day – our nationwide 5-day Food Drive brought together 75 enthusiastic volunteers, 15 dedicated NGO partners, and thousands of generous community supporters who donated items from their shopping carts at participating Massy Stores. The result? Almost 6,000 meals’ worth of food to nourish over 1,000 of the neediest persons in our country, saving our charity/NGO partners approximately US$7,000. Good food saved, and good people nourished!
THANK YOU – our global well wishers – for your immeasurable support in helping us to achieve these milestones. In 2018, we’ll be coming up with even more projects and programs to deepen our social impact of reducing hunger and food waste in Trinidad & Tobago.
