connect 2019 • 26 FOODCLOUD FoodCloud Achieving a vision for an Ireland and a world where no good food goes to waste. There are many ways to show someone you care about their well-being, but the sharing of food is truly an act of love. FoodCloud, an initiative founded in 2012 by Iseult Ward and Aoibheann O’Brien to rescue surplus food and distribute it to charities across Ireland, has transformed that act into a highly efficient and strategic approach. To- day, with support from The Ireland Funds, FoodCloud is partnering with thousands of food and retail partners with surplus prod- uct and creating an efficient bridge which serves thousands of people through chari- ties and community groups.
