The food collection on December 25 marked the first time VietHarvest directly recovered surplus food of assured quality from Mövenpick Hotel Hanoi Centre. All food was received in accordance with strict food safety procedures, ensuring quality before being redistributed to the social organizations supported by VietHarvest.
This milestone represents the beginning of a partnership between the two parties, united in their shared commitment to reducing food waste and creating positive, lasting impact for the community.
Once received by VietHarvest, surplus food of good quality was promptly redistributed to vulnerable communities. Beyond supporting daily meals, these food donations also helped ease the operational and financial pressures faced by social organizations in caring for their beneficiaries.
For VietHarvest, each food collection and redistribution represents a vital link in the journey toward building a more humane and inclusive food system in Vietnam.
Starting with the first collection at Mövenpick Hotel Hanoi Centre, positive impacts are already taking shape-steadily, consistently, and with growing reach. “We believe that when food is treated with the respect it deserves, it can continue to create value for the community,” a VietHarvest representative shared.
Looking ahead, VietHarvest aims to continue partnering with hotels, restaurants, and businesses in food rescue efforts. Each collection presents an opportunity to reduce food waste while delivering more nutritious meals to communities in need.
