I first encountered the Sussex Surplus team last year when I was looking for a charity to donate a giant pumpkin. At the time, they were busy processing and batch-cooking gleaned squash from farms across Sussex, so what’s one more pumpkin to add to the mix? They were more than happy to take it, along with a box of leftover garlic I had at the end of the season. After spending time with their team over a shared meal, I knew I wanted to continue supporting them. Their work—feeding the community, rescuing food from waste, and providing a supportive workplace for young people—is truly invaluable.
You can help support this collaboration in different ways:

1. Add a Sussex Surplus support payment as an extra for your regular orders.
2. Going on holiday or unable to collect your box one week? Donate your box! Sussex Surplus will be able to use that credit to buy the freshest produce or receive a payout to help keep their operations running!
3. Wholesalers, caterers and restaurants! Ask to round up your bill for them. They will receive 100% of funds raised!
