-- We will be volunteering for the Tesco Food Collection 2019! Your support is enabling food banks to stock up for a crucial period, helping people in your local community. So, thank you for so generously giving up your time.

Stopping hunger is about more than just food, which is why many food banks offer additional advice and support to help tackle the underlying causes of crisis. We undertake ground-breaking research with the network to identify the structural issues behind food bank use so we can find solutions, we work to raise awareness of the issue of hunger in the UK and campaign on a national level for long-term change. To learn more about us, please go to: www.trusselltrust.org

Please email Lewisham Foodbank on info@lewisham.foodbank.org.uk or contact them 07938 071854 to register interest. Take a look at their website for more information www.lewisham.foodbank.org.uk

There is no specific limit on people per shift, but we can sign up more people by email if there is more demand. It's a 8 hour slot from 9-5 pm but you dont need to attend for the entire 8 hours if you can only make part of that please still come along, just email and inform roughly when you can make it so we have an idea of who is coming and going.

Please arrive in plenty of time before the start of your shift and introduce yourself to the food bank leader overseeing the collection. The food bank representative should run through basic health and safety guidelines with you, as well as completing a risk assessment.
