Lidl Shrewsbury Harlescott Lane

Our vision is a community where food is valued, not wasted. Our mission is to redistribute food and promote food waste reduction for environmental and social good. Since April 2016, we have collected good surplus food from supermarkets, manufacturers and farms and shared it with local charities and community groups, saving them money so they can do more. Our community partners support the homeless, the old, the vulnerable and those on low incomes. We also support community Foodshare Tables and Fridges where everyone is welcome to collect a few bags of food to help stop food waste and stretch household budgets. Any donation you can make will enable us to train new volunteers, pay for fuel for our charity van, buy in additional surplus from FareShare to supplement the food we collect to nourish our community. Please contact Tammy at tammy@shrewsburyfoodhub.org.uk if you would like more information or would like to get involved. The Food Hub is a registered charity 1171092.

Foodbank PLUS is the umbrella for the delivery of a range of individual initiatives; Shrewsbury Foodbank, Barnabas Money Advice, 360, Acts 435, Breathe and Foundations, which incorporates a range of services supporting clients on the journey back to work and health. Historically food banks have been seen as a short term fix but with these initiatives working together it means we can help people to become more resilient for the longer term. We aim to help people out of crisis and poverty whether that’s resources, relational or identity and empower clients to enable them to make confident decisions and responses to future challenges they may face. Shrewsbury Food Bank organises and gives parcels of donated food and household items to individuals and families every week.
