Woodford residents Shan and James Lau were honoured at the Redbridge Mayor’s Community Awards in March.
“Shan and James work tirelessly, collecting food from supermarkets which would otherwise be thrown away because of best-before dates.
Every Friday morning, they hold a community event called Spare Loaf at St Barnabas Church hall on Snakes Lane East and give the food away to the community. They have saved over 50 tonnes of food from going to landfill,” said an event spokesperson.
