Did you know it takes 80 years for a crisp packet to decompose? Did you know that 150 of them can be ironed together and turned into a survival blanket for a homeless person and will help to keep their sleeping bag dry and insulated? The Iron Man Frome is doing exactly that! So we are collecting ours to help the cause and have boxes in each of our offices to collect washed packets to send. Read more about The Iron Man Frome if you would also like to help, not just the environment but also the homeless: https://lnkd.in/ezTxxSEi #sustainability #community #environment

OUR VISION: No one hungry and homeless. OUR MISSION: To inspire everyone to make one personally-delivered, fresh & nutritious meal and deliver directly to their neighbors currently experiencing homelessness with dignity on the streets in their communities. OUR CORE VALUES: • “It’s better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.” The problem of homelessness is overwhelming, but anyone can make a sandwich for someone in need, and everyone should. • The best of the best to those with the least. People experiencing homelessness don’t just need feeding. They should have the dignity of a good meal. • We know that food is medicine and everyone deserves the highest quality ingredients. Fresh, homemade, organic, and sustainable food. • Loving-kindness in action – not in a soup line, but one personally delivered, fresh & nutritious boxed lunch at a time.
