Thousands gathered in Coimbatore to observe the Aadi Perukku festival this year. Devotees offered food as part of the rituals. This generated a lot of food waste. Thanks to ‘No Food Waste’ the food was distributed to nearby colonies.
Founded in Coimbatore in 2014, 'No Food Waste' is a food recovery and waste management network.
It collects surplus food from weddings, parties and other places to distribute among the needy.
