Food bank run
Donation of essential items for a local food bank
Location
St Peter's SquareManchester
M1 5AN
Date and time
18:15 - 20:00Manchester South Central Foodbank have a regular Holiday Hunger donation drive to help:
"At our food bank we are currently supporting around 100 clients a week. With the rising price of food and bills, people in our area are struggling to choose between heating and eating. You can support people in your local area by donating to us. Last year we distributed 1033 holiday hunger food parcels to families in crisis. Our Holiday Hunger project provides a lifeline for families during the school holidays, by providing food parcels containing breakfast and lunch items and reading activities."
If you have any items on the list in the picture, please bring them along.
Even if you can't make it, they also have:
- an online donation site to donate food online that is delivered to their warehouse
- a monetary donation page too.
We will be running approximately 1.4 miles (~2.3 km) from St Peter's Square (outside the Central Library, What3words: ///think.forum.votes) to ASDA Hulme (Asda, 100 Princess Rd, Hulme, Manchester M15 5AS). There is a donation point there for Manchester South Central foodbank and is open until late.
If you wish to meet directly at ASDA in Hulme, please let us know by commenting at the bottom of the page.
Manchester Central Foodbank also have a few locations in Manchester for accepting food donations to provide for those who need it. For other nearby foodbanks/donation points, Trussell Trust have a handy search tool.
