Visitors to Oxford's Westgate Shopping Centre this Sunday will have the chance to learn how to make the most of their food.
The centre has teamed up with Oxford Food Hub to host a community awareness event on September 29.
As well as providing tips on how to maximise the use of their food, guests will learn about food waste and how to tackle it.
Brendan Hattam, centre director at Westgate Oxford, said: "Community is at the heart of everything we do at Westgate Oxford.
"We are proud to be able to create inclusive spaces that not only make a positive contribution to the communities they serve, but also build value and enhance the quality of life for those using them.
"We are sure that Oxford Food Hub’s awareness event will be a success, and we encourage guests to come down on Sunday and learn how they can utilise their surplus food for good."
Oxford Food Hub will be handing out free meal planners and showcasing a range of commonly wasted food products.
The centre will also provide Oxford Food Hub with vegetables grown on its rooftop terrace garden.
Oxford Food Hub is an organisation that rescues surplus food from wholesalers, supermarkets, and restaurants across the county, redistributing it to charities and community organisations.
A spokesperson for Oxfordshire Food Hub said: "We’re looking forward to meeting guests on September 29."
