Opel Ireland has joined forces with the award winning social enterprise FoodCloud – \u2018Fuelling the Food Movement\u2019 with 7 custom specified Opel vans.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Opel Ireland is to pledge its commitment to help drive social change as it joins the award winning FoodCloud in Ireland.\u00a0Through the provision of seven custom specified Opel vans, this partnership is set to deliver the equivalent of 2.3 million meals to over 250 charities in the next 12 months alone.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0recent reports reveal that one in eight people in Ireland are living in food poverty, yet one million tonnes of food is still wasted each year.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch of the partnership Gillian Whittall, Head of Marketing and PR for Opel Ireland said; \u201cWe have been following FoodCloud over the past few years so I\u2019m thrilled that we\u2019re in a position to make such a significant investment to the movement. As the team\u2019s transport partner, we hope to occupy the missing piece in the puzzle, by providing the vital equipment needed to redistribute larger volumes of food to\u00a0hard working charities in local communities right across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

FoodCloud Co-Founder Aoibheann O’Brien said; \u201cWe are delighted to have Opel as a partner in supporting us to achieve a vision for an Ireland where no good food goes to waste.\u00a0These vehicles are essential for the\u00a0efficient and reliable redistribution of surplus\u00a0food through our three depots in Cork, Dublin and Galway.\u00a0As a result of our Opel fleet, over\u00a01000 tonnes of perfectly good food that would have been wasted is now being distributed to people who need it in communities across Ireland.\u201d<\/p>\n

FoodCloud is a social enterprise that connects businesses with surplus food to charities in their local communities that need it through a software platform.\u00a0Some of the organisations FoodCloud already works with include The Society of St. Vincent de Paul and The Simon Community.<\/p>\n
