18:00 - 20:00Who this task will support
422 Community HubSimilar to previous foodbank runs for Manchester South-Central foodbank, we have been asked by a community hub in Longsight if we could scour the cupboards and buy a few extras to help out with the community Pantry at 422 Community Hub.
We have been given a specific list of items they are particularly short of, so please prioritise these if you can:
- Tinned meals
- Tinned fruit
- Tinned Tuna
- Tinned sweetcorn
- Squash
- Coffee
- Tea
- Long life milk
- Baby wipes
- Cereal
We will drop these in a secure storage box at the site, and perhaps do a quick litter pick of the nearby streets/car park (all equipment provided).
We will be meeting at Whitworth Art Gallery (What3words: ///cable.pays.jacket) for those who wish to get a light jog in. There is a big Lidl nearby too for picking up any additional items. We will then run back to the art gallery after the session.
If you wish to meet directly at the task, this is 422 Stockport Road, M12 4EX (What3words: ///paused.opens.vivid). There are regular 192 buses to the location from the city centre.
422 Community Hub is a project of Manchester Vineyard, a local church and charity who in 2020-2021, through generous donations, grants and volunteer labour transformed a derelict former youth centre into a thriving Community Hub.
