FoodCycle is a charitable organization based in the United Kingdom that uses surplus food donated by supermarkets, shops and food banks to create vegetarian meals served at "free community restaurants".[1]
FoodCycle has a head office in London, with operations in locations across England and Wales.
In September 2008, Canadian Kelvin Cheung founded FoodCycle. He started the organization after hearing about the US on-campus student service program, Campus Kitchen, where students use on-campus kitchen space and donated food from their cafeterias to prepare meals for their communities. FoodCycle's pilot hubs were at the Imperial College London and the London School of Economics.
