Put a food bank in airports

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Put a food bank in airports so when people leave they can donate food instead of binning it and wasting food that could be beneficial to someone.
As whenever I go on holiday, we buy a bunch of food and majority ends up not eaten and having to be thrown in the bin. I was thinking I would love if I could donate it somewhere and potentially if England started implementing food banks at airports other airports could follow and hopefully help less fortunate people.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about whether to have food donation points are a matter for individual businesses, not the UK Government or Parliament.
