The entrepreneurs normally attend 150 festivals with their ‘Willy Nacho’ products. “We are at all the major festivals, from Tomorrowland to Rock Werchter”, Willem Neutkens told EditieNL. “But now everything has come to a standstill. We have a lot of products in our warehouse that we cannot keep indefinitely. So we decided to hand it out.”

During the previous lockdown period, they already brought several pallets of crisps to the Food Bank. “This time we wanted to thank the village. There are two hundred people from the region who work with us. We obviously hope that they will be able to return to work soon. That is why we made packages with a snack. And a note with the question whether people want to stay at home. Nice with chips on the couch. So that we can all get back to work quickly. “

Willem and Bart made 940 packages with the help of 18 employees. They distributed these with wagon carts in Westerhoven. “We still have to pass thirty houses where no one opened. But then we have provided everyone. We have received really nice reactions. People thought it was heart-warming.”
Waste
Bart and Willem are happy that they can make others happy in this way and do not have to throw their products away. “We are very much against food waste. Our sauces are all made in a waste factory so we think it is very important that nothing ends up in the bin.”
