Wastebusters would love for you to join their Every Bite programme, which focuses on food waste prevention.

The programme consists of two in-person events, and some dedicated tasks for you to action at home during the four weeks. It’s low key, with easy achievable goals that will result in food waste reduction (and save you money).

The four week Every Bite programme costs just $10 and we would love you to join us.

All proceeds go to local food recovery charity, Kiwi Harvest, an organisation that is doing amazing mahi in diverting fit-for-use food from landfill and providing food security to those who need it, including Food For Love and Wānaka Community Food Bank.
