About Us
Our mission
UGLYS strives to source and supply the best tasting local produce no matter how ugly it may look on the outside by doing so reducing food waste of high quality fruit and vegetables.
We work with local farmers, gardeners and product makers to bring the best of the best from their garden to your table.
Our History
We have a community pantry at 25 Clarence Street where we price everything reasonably— making food that would possibly end up as waste be available to the community.
We also have a Local Outreach Program where we deliver a free large portion of what we collect to nine different council owned villages, development projects and others in need on the Devonport Peninsula.
OUR RECIPIENTS
The people we support each week
- Between 300 and 400 local families.
- Five council-owned Senior Citizen Villages across the Peninsula.
- Five North Shore schools including two kindergartens
How often we help
- We deliver twice weekly to the Belmont/Bayswater Kindergarten, who recently created a thank-you video for local supermarkets.
- We deliver four to six times per week to Preston Court Retirement Village; residents recently wrote a two-page handwritten letter and card expressing their thanks to the supermarkets and bakeries.
Our pantry
- Over the past three years, the pantry has built strong goodwill across the community
- We also conduct door-to-door outreach, encouraging families to contribute, including through an annual “Spring-Clean” promotion
