The virtual food bank project is part of the Vouchers For Refuge Initiative created by Domestic Violence UK.
The objective is to provide assistance to individuals/families who are in need of essential food supplies.
This project started on the on the 19th of May 2020 and in the last few weeks we have been able to:
- Create a food bank page with referral forms embedded on our website
- Become a registered member of the Independent Food Aid Network UK
- Distribute 41 food boxes to families
- Work out reasonable delivery rates and timescales using DPD/Hermes
- Purchase as well as collect so many items for the food bank eg cereals, pasta, biscuits, canned foods, sugar, tea, coffee, tuna….
