The Challenge
Millions of pounds of food are wasted each and every year, discarded because of looks or thrown out at the end of the day.
Even if we cannot fix everything, we can still fix something.
The Solution
Silica connects local businesses and chain restaurants with volunteers in the area.
Instead of letting food go to waste, volunteers receive directives to reallocate the food to better causes. Join us to nourish the community and frame a sustainable future.
The Impact
Countering food waste is just one of our targets.
Together, we foster compassion, promote communal responsibility, and provide a tangible path for students to make a quantifiable impact in their communities.
