Edmund Aruofor, 60, originally from London, moved with his family to Belfast in 2015.
His organisation, LifeHub NI, has been providing 4,000 people with fresh, surplus produce rescued from supermarkets since the pandemic began.
He will also be providing more than 300 Christmas dinners to vulnerable people.
'Food parcels for the self-isolating'

It is volunteer-led, with Mr Aruofor driving more than 14,000 miles a year to collect surplus food from supermarkets and suppliers across Northern Ireland which otherwise would be thrown out.

Water way to raise £12k for kids as Co Down man Dennis Bree overcomes fears with open sea challenge

A BRAVE Co Down man has taken the plunge and faced his fears of sea swimming to raise over £12,000 for hungry kids.
Despite being terrified of open water, dad-of-two Dennis Bree (41), from Helen's Bay, managed to swim a mile in icy sea waters every day for the past month to secure much-needed funds for a local charity that helps families living in food poverty.
He took on the challenge after listening to a heartbreaking radio interview with top kids' doc, Dr Julie-Ann Maney, where she talked of starving tots stuffing toast in their nappies.
"I was sitting in the car having a coffee when I heard that interview," recalls Dennis. "My family has a small business, a guesthouse on the Ravenhill Road and it's been closed since April. We had to let a staff member go and, like a lot of people in hospitality, I was feeling frustrated about that and wondering how we were going to stay afloat.
