It became apparent that to bring Gratitude’s saved from waste groceries collections into a wider reach operation a cold room facility will be needed.
We identified the garage in Gratitude’s Hub as an excellent place to locate it. Following on from this decision, a plan evolved to turn the garage into a hygienic food standard facility.
The Locker Foundation kindly donated a generous grant that enabled us to purchase a suitable chiller. Following that so many wonderful volunteers and so much support and donations from businesses helped us to complete this huge project.
Thank you very much again for all of your hard work, hours and donations.
Cold room sponsored by The Locker Foundation and purchased with the help of Albert David manager at ABC catering (and he also organised a donation of protective boards)
