THE founder of the Isle of Wight Pop-up Soup kitchen wants it to pop up in a new location.
Trevor Blaney has renewed his appeal for premises for a Waste Not, Want Not waste food restaurant.
Trevor said: "If any restaurateur or bistro owner out there wants a partnership then I have the food."
His appeal followed what he described as 'a fantastic week’ for the Pop-Up Soup Kitchen.
Using waste food contracts from the Island’s leading supermarkets, the kitchen was able to distribute enough food for 225 less fortunate people.
"They ranged from a plea from a mother who did not have enough money to buy milk for her baby, to 40 meals we delivered to the Island’s rough sleepers and a church lunch," he said.
"I even got my good friend Cllr Jon Gilbey, the mayor of Shanklin, and the IW College involved, cooking and preparing food for our less fortunate.
"In all, 437 miles were covered — I must have been to every corner of this Island."
The soup kitchen donated a 14-litre shepherd’s pie to King’s Church, Sandown, to feed 35 at its Credit Crunch Lunch.
Five food boxes or parcels were given out to people identified as 'struggling with life’.
The boxes were designed to feed 18 people at least two meals a day, he said.
There was also a free food rack at Newport Congregational Church and assistance given to two primary schools, which last year identified the quality of the contents of children’s lunch boxes deteriorated towards the end of the month before parents were paid.
Trevor said: "I said last year 'no one will go hungry on my watch’ on social media site The Pop-Up Soup Kitchen and as the group numbers swell the soup kitchen has expanded too.
"Every day we have offers of help and assistance not just on the Island but from all over the country."
