We set up the distribution centre because we could see that, despite everyone’s best efforts, the system wasn’t working as well as it could. Food was available across the Island, but it wasn’t always reaching the people who needed it most. Community pantries were under pressure, often sourcing food individually, duplicating effort, and facing inconsistent supply. At the same time, good surplus food was going to waste.

We knew there had to be a better way. By creating a central distribution hub, we’re bringing everything together—collecting, storing, and redistributing food more efficiently so that every community has access to a reliable, affordable supply. It’s about moving from short-term fixes to a long-term, joined-up solution that works for the whole Island.
