Today Dame Cindy chose to celebrate International Women's Day with women who are involved in food rescue work in Tamaki Makaurau. Dame Cindy honoured staff, supporters, suppliers and funders of Fair Food, which recovers surplus fresh food from growers, manufacturers and supermarkets and works with partner organisations to get food to people who cannot afford to feed themselves and their families. Through their intervention, two tons of food per day are diverted from landfills, and thousands of Auckland people receive the sustenance they need.
