King Charles to mark 76th b'day by opening food distribution hubs
Nov 11, 2024
London [UK], November 11: King Charles III will open two hubs designed to save and circulate tons of surplus food as he marks his 76th birthday.
The opening of the distribution centres will also mark the first anniversary of the Coronation Food Project, an initiative to support charities feeding the nation with unwanted food. Charles, who celebrates his birthday on Thursday, will open the initiative's first two Coronation Food Hubs - one in person and one virtually.
It is hoped the hubs will help charities like FareShare and the Felix Project to support communities in need.
The hub the king is visiting will host a "surplus food festival," with meals created from food which would otherwise have gone to waste.
Charles will tour the new facility, meeting beneficiaries and representatives of food banks, schools and community groups.
The Coronation Food Project is investing in a network of hubs, adding scale and capacity to warehouses, boosting cold storage facilities and funding lorries, vans and drivers to boost their distribution capacity. (PA Media/dpa)
