Donating items to a food bank 10 Jun 2019

Over the past few years, one of our Board Director’s Spencer Lawrence and his team at Paramount Properties, have been helping out Brent Foodbank, and have been collecting for bigger items such as fridge freezers for the foodbank. In this video, Michelle who is in charge, explains in great detail, the items desperately needed, so please have a watch!

Different foodbanks will have different requirements, quite often they will give you a list of the items they need at the time you are collecting, so it is worthwhile checking with your local foodbank before you start asking for donations.

Collecting items for your local foodbank with Agents Giving

A point to note is that these food bank volunteers are rushed off their feet, often the telephone goes unanswered, so please take the time to pop past and speak to the helpers in person.

What is Emergency Food?

Food banks provide a minimum of three days’ emergency food and support to people in crisis

Food banks work with frontline professionals to identify people in need and issue them with a food bank voucher. These include local agencies such as children’s centres, housing associations, advice charities and mental health teams, who are best placed to assess need.

Once a person is referred, they can bring the voucher to their nearest food bank centre, where it can be exchanged for a parcel containing a minimum of three days’ nutritionally balanced food.

Food banks are designed to provide short-term, emergency support with food during a crisis. Their aim is to relieve the immediate pressure of the crisis by providing food, while also providing additional support to help people resolve the crises that they face.
