Abertaysty 🥑

Abertaysty is a project provided by Abertay Students' Association to offer free food to students.

The food is sourced from FareShare, a charity set up to fight hunger and tackle food waste. Working with FareShare we purchase quality surplus food that is available to us each week.

We try to get a variety of foods for a balanced diet of donated foods each week.

Follow @AbertaySA to find out when the food arrives.
