FoodCloud is an Irish social enterprise that creates solutions to redistribute surplus food, tackling the twin issues of food waste and food insecurity. With a vision for a world where no good food goes to waste and an ambition to create a solution at each step of the supply chain, FoodCloud redistributes surplus food from the food industry to the charity sector via our retail technology platform and our warehouses in Dublin, Galway and Cork.

We are launching a new exciting project, The FoodCloud Kitchen, a branded food truck that allows FoodCloud to bring the important message of tackling food waste on the road.

The FoodCloud Kitchen will transform surplus food that we cannot get to the community sector, into a spectacular surplus food offering and deliver to citizens, corporate, and community partners in the greater Dublin area and beyond. It will offer a platform to showcase innovation with surplus food to key stakeholders in the context of our ambitious goal to create a more equitable, inclusive and circular food system.
