    20 days to make a difference<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Every December we partner with The Felix Project to help some of the 4 million people in the UK facing food poverty.<\/span> For 20 days over the festive period, from 1st – 20th December, you can turn your empty Mindful Chef box into an advent calendar and make someone\u2019s Christmas brighter.\u00a0<\/span> Simply pop one non\u2013perishable food item in daily, then return it free of charge using a DPD drop-off point. We make up the final four days. All your generous donations are distributed to those in need via our charity partner <\/span>The Felix Project<\/span><\/a>, London\u2019s largest food distribution charity.\u00a0<\/span> Since we came up with the idea, together we have donated over <\/span>365 tonnes of food, that equates to over 872,000 meals<\/span> to those most in need!<\/span> \u201cThe year round support we receive from Mindful Chef is incredible and the reverse advent makes such a difference, giving our recipients much-needed long-life ambient food at a crucial time of the year.\u201d Richard, Head of Food Supply at The Felix Project.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    The Felix Project<\/span><\/a> is London\u2019s largest food redistribution charity, and we\u2019re so proud to partner with them on this initiative. Since 2016, they have been rescuing high quality surplus food, that cannot be sold and would otherwise go to waste and distributing it to community organisations helping to feed people in need across the capital.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

    Each week they deliver to around 1,000 small charities, such as food banks, pantries, homeless shelters\u00a0and primary schools.<\/p>\r\n

    We know that there is more than enough food to go around, yet in the UK, approximately 9 million tonnes of food is wasted every year. We want to make sure less food goes to waste and instead goes to those who need it, which is we’re so pleased to have teamed up with The Felix Project again this Christmas for our Reverse Advent Calendar. \u00a0#ReverseAdventCalendar.<\/p>\r\n

    Please help us ensure we can work together to feed more people this festive season. #ReverseAdventCalendar.

    <\/span>Help us spread the word<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    This Christmas is going to hit people harder than ever, so the more people that join the Reverse Advent Calendar, the more we can make a difference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
