Hospitality Food Surplus Redistribution Guidelines

Overview

The Hospitality Food Surplus Redistribution Guidelines are designed to help those looking to redistribute food from the hospitality and food service sector.

The primary goal of the document is to help the starting and roll-out of similar activities all across Europe. The Guidelines where prepared primarily from the point-of-view of a project coordinator, although some parts of the Guidelines are relevant for donor and recipient organisations as well.
