Volunteers have clocked up more than 1,000 hours of service to save 34 tonnes of uneaten food from the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, going into the bin.
Since Sunday, about 50 helpers from Roade and Towcester's Community Larders have driven back and forth from the Northamptonshire racetrack to offer up items like eggs, milk, fruit, vegetables, and even a carpet, at pop-up shops.
Katie Steele, from the Towcester group, said it had seen "record attendances" and believed the groups had helped about 3,000 people. She said the collections
ended on Friday and were only made possible by "absolutely amazing teamwork".
