Hear why our community loves Olio

An amazing community

I started using Olio because we needed items for our newborn. After a few collections I discovered what a wonderful group of Olio-ers there are close to me. It’s amazing how connected my family are with our community now, and we’ve been sharing flyers locally to help introduce even more people to Olio. I’ve felt a real sense of accomplishment completing Food Waste Hero pick ups too. It’s wonderful knowing I’m playing a part in reducing waste.

Exactly what me and my family needed

Hi 👋🏻 I’m Chloe Just wanted to come and say Hi 🙂 I’m new here and just wanted to share what a positive experience I’ve had on this app so far. In a cost of living crisis this app has been exactly what me and my family needed with the added bonus of reducing food waste which is a massive problem in this country 🙂 I couldn’t be more grateful for the volunteers who take time out of their day to collect and fairly distribute the food. ❤️

FAQs:

What does “Olio” mean?

🤗Olio means a "miscellaneous collection of things" - which is what you will see when you look on the app!

🌶️It's also the name for a traditional Spanish/Portuguese stew, and stew is a dish that is commonly created in order to prevent food waste.

🌍We also chose the name Olio because we loved the two O's which could be symbolic of the planet, or the local community and or the idea of sharing to create a circular economy.

💚And finally, we really loved the word and the way it sounds.
