Overview
Food rescue organisation Everybody Eats has been feeding bellies instead of bins since June 2017. As part of its mission to combat food waste and food poverty, the organisation now hosts two pay-as-you-feel restaurants in Auckland, including a permanent location which opened its doors last year.
The organisation was started by Nick Loosley after he was exposed to the enormous amount of food waste while undertaking research for his Master's Degree in Green Economics. Together with volunteer chefs from top restaurants each week he feeds around 250 people restaurant quality, three-course meals from food that would otherwise go to waste. The customers of Everybody Eats can pay whatever they like, from nothing at all to sizeable donations.
The not-for-profit dining concept is now heading to the capital to serve delicious chef-prepared meals. Following a ticketed charity event as part of Visa Wellington On a Plate, Everybody Eats is now pumping out restaurant-quality three-course meals at LTD every Tuesday until 15 December. The meals are made almost entirely from rescued food and are served on a pay-as-you-feel basis.
