Domino's Pizza gives away staggering 7 tonnes of surplus food in Milton Keynes

The donations total a staggering 15,862 meals.

All the food was surplus to requirements and was handed to FareShare through the Domino’s Milton Keynes Supply Chain Centre, to be distributed it through hundreds of charities.

Domino’s aims to achieve zero waste to landfill and reduce food waste by meticulously managing stock inventory.

Ruth Downes, Head of Development at FareShare Greater Manchester said: “We are so grateful to Domino’s for their ongoing generous support for FareShare. Together, we ensure that good quality surplus food goes to our network of charities across the UK, including after school and breakfast clubs, hospices, and homelessness shelters, instead of going to waste.”
