Give food. Create impact.

Surplus food can do extraordinary things.

FoodCloud helps growers, producers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers turn surplus food into real community impact. Because every day, perfectly good food goes unsold or unused.

Instead of going to waste, it can become a warm nourishing meal, one less worry for a student far from home, fresh ingredients for a welcoming community kitchen, or vital support for families facing food insecurity.

Simply put, when food businesses donate surplus through FoodCloud, good food reaches the people who need it most.

No act of kindness is too big or too small - we ensure all of it moves efficiently and safely to communities.

Why donate
surplus food?

Donating surplus food is one of the most powerful ways businesses can reduce waste while supporting communities. Every year, tonnes of perfectly good food are lost across the supply chain while community organisations work hard to meet growing demand.

Surplus food donations help businesses in many ways:

Save Money: Less waste, lower fees, and more efficiency.
Protection: We handle the safety and liability details so your brand is never at risk.
ESG/CSR: Clear, measurable impact stats ready for your next sustainability report.
Simplicity: One national relationship instead of a dozen local groups.

Surplus food donations help businesses in many ways:

Reduce food waste and create efficiencies across operations.
Support charities, food banks and community organisations.
Cut carbon emissions and environmental impact.
Strengthen ESG and sustainability reporting.

Trusted by leading food businesses.

FoodCloud works with incredible food businesses and food banks across Ireland, the UK, Europe and Africa, to get perfectly good food to thousands of charities and community organisations. Together, we have already helped redistribute quarter of a billion surplus meals.

FoodCloud operates to very high safety, traceability, and accountability standards to ensure that all donated food is handled responsibly. Strict food safety guidelines, aligned with regulatory best practices, help ensure that food remains safe and suitable for consumption at every stage.

Farm to Future.

The Growers’ Project is a collaborative initiative that helps unlock more fresh, nutritious produce for communities by supporting primary producers who may not be in a position to donate surplus food free of charge.

By contributing towards the cost of getting produce from farm to FoodCloud, the project makes it easier for growers to ensure good food reaches people, not waste.

Through this approach, we’re increasing access to a consistent supply of vegetables for our charity partners, while working closely with them to make sure the type and volume of produce can be easily used or shared within their communities.

It’s a practical solution that supports both producers and community organisations, creating impact across the food system.

Open to growers with Grade II or surplus produce, the Growers’ Project forms part of our wider work to redistribute good food across Ireland.
