We focus on:
- Signposting: Connecting individuals with suitable food aid services.
- Distribution: Facilitating the flow of donated food via supermarkets, shops, and groups like FareShare.
- Long-Term Assistance: Helping people access services that address the root causes of poverty, such as addiction recovery programs.
Our website, meetings, emails and calls help ensure efficient communication across the network and spread awareness to the broader community.
