ECE feeds in excess of 50,000 people per week, and this is steadily on the increase as we expand across the UK
Esther Community Enterprise (ECE) is a highly worthwhile non-profit organisation, run on an entirely voluntary basis, serving the homeless and other socially excluded people in London and the UK.
“Giving Purpose to Surplus” is our mission statement. We aim to meet those who have needs in the local community by redistribution of food and other consumables donated by retailers.
ECE makes a worthwhile collective response to the 3 tenets of sustainable development, namely social, economical and environmental needs.
June, a qualified Therapist and Welfare Officer, co-ordinates and manages Esther Community Enterprise. She is certified in the area of Health and Hygiene.
Retailers who partner with ECE
Retailers who partner with ECE include: Aldi, Lidl, Marks & Spencer, Nandos, Sainsbury and Waitrose.
Volunteers collect food donated by retailers then check the “use and sell by dates”. Food unfit for human consumption is not taken, with the remainder distributed to those that are disadvantaged.
