Are you able to collect cooked food?

Yes we are. We recruit local volunteers to minimise collection and distribution times to ensure we can distribute cooked food in a safe way. If the cooked food is hot, it needs to be kept above 63°C and redistributed within 1.5 hours of collection, or chilled until redistributed. If the cooked food donated is chilled, this needs to be kept below 5°C and redistributed within 24 hours.
