About London Food Coalition
London Food Coalition Inc. is a member of the London Environmental Network. London Food Coalition is dedicated to creating food prosperity initiatives that assert fresh food as a fundamental right. Fresh food is integral to many different community programs in the city. This initiative provides essential resources for family cooking programs, nutritional and educational programming, camp programs, and healthy meals for children and families. Furthermore, this coalition reduces the costs of food for London organizations.
Their main goals are (1) to relieve poverty by gathering and distributing food and other basic supplies to persons of low income and (2) educate and increase the public's understanding about reducing food waste by collecting and disseminating information on that topic.
About London Environmental Network
The London Environmental Network (LEN) connects, educates and supports individuals and local organizations in transitioning to a more sustainable future.
We work to build strong, resilient organizations so they can be more effective at creating positive environmental change over the long term. The London Environmental Network also acts as a doorway into the environmental non-profit sector, so Londoners can more easily learn about environmental efforts in our city and how to get involved. We support businesses through Green Economy London to help them set and achieve sustainability goals.
