Life Food Aid (c/o Deeper Life Bible Church Birmingham)

Birmingham, UK

We are a food bank (c/o Deeper Life Bible Church<DLBC>, 95 Bacchus Road, B18 4QP Birmingham) with the aim to providing dry and canned food to residents struggling to feed within the community and referrals due to rise in rate of cost of food and living expenses. We do run coffee afternoon on weekends and do not charge for the service(s) provided nor currently collect surplus food from any other retailers. We require any surplus goods or products ranging from ambience food, dry foods, fruit and vegetables. Listed below are the way we identify service users and their needs: 1. Service users are referred to us by counsellor with their needs noted, which for us is to enable them to access the food bank. 2. As we run warm place during the winter months, we have those who are not able to heat their homes or who want company to come into our premises. They also indicate if they need food and can access the food bank. 3. We use the church premises, members and those who are attending at any time, also indicate need for food and we allow them to access the food bank. 4. We are located in a deprived community, and get those in the community come in to us to access the food bank. From all the list above, some access continually after first referral, some for a while and some once. Below are the other services provided by Life Food Aid with some support from DLBC other than food support: 1. Warm space: we provide warm space for all during the winter month, particularly those in the community. 2. Coffee morning: We provide coffee morning / afternoon on selected days. 3. Music outreaches: We provide music outreaches. 4. Health and wellbeing seminars: We run bi-annual health and well being seminars that can be attended in person and online. 5. Social activities: We run social activities like barbecue that are open to others in the community.
