SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

CFE realise its mission through consultation and in partnership with the community and stakeholders it serves. We operate and manage a socialised food supply chain, which is focused on delivering fresh fruit & vegetables of the highest quality and at the best possible price. Based on this socialised supply chain and working in partnership with local people, statutory/voluntary organisations and local businesses, we have developed a balanced and comprehensive range of innovative, community based services and interventions, which we deliver through the following strands:

FOOD SURPLUS

To improve the health and wellbeing of employees, CFE offers a daily delivery of fresh fruits directly to employers’ workplace. Research has shown that eating fresh fruits regularly provides the following benefits:

Improve the health and wellbeing of employees.
Motivate staff.
Improve morale and job satisfaction.
Increase productivity.
Reduce breaks.
Reduce staff absentees as a result of a healthier workforce.

WORK PLACE HEALTH

CFE procure food that is surplus to requirement and redistribute it exclusively to charities/community organisations that are located in the seven London Boroughs that forms East London.

CFE also work with Feedback Global’s Gleaning Network and collect produce from Farms (between September and March). We also enjoy an excellent working relationship with Plan Zheroes.

We also have Food Donation Point's established at local Sainsbury's & Lidl's in Newham which can be found on the link below

COMMUNITY SUPPORT SERVICE (CSS)

CFE uses its unique infrastructure to support community organisations that offers services such as food co-ops (providing quality fruits & veg. at affordable prices).

Other services provided by CFE include:

purchasing/delivering produce
administration support e.g preparing weekly price list

Without the work of our CSS unit, organisations we currently support will not be able to sustain their projects and vulnerable member of our community will suffer.

CFE fights food poverty by sourcing food that is surplus to requirement and redistrubuting it to frontline organisations helping those experiencing food poverty. This includes the homeless, sheltered housing residents, food banks and emergency response units exclusively in East London.
