We are a three form entry primary school in East London, Leyton. We have both a school nursery and an all year daycare provision. We want to make our school the best possible place it can be for our children and families. We would like to develop areas including our playgrounds and gardens. We would like to develop more green spaces and get our children involved in the process. We also would like to support our families as much as possible through the 'cost of living crisis'. We would like to set up a food bank within our school and target families who need that support.

At Lister Community School we are running a inhouse food bank. We are based in Newham, East London. We are unfortunately the second most deprived Borough in London with one of the highest child poverty rate. We are coming across families that are in dire need. Please donate food to us, so that we can pass it on to families in need. Thank you in advance.

From Compassion to Community: The Story of the Blossom 3Food4U FoodHub The Blossom 3Food4U Food Hub is more than just a place to get a meal; it's a testament to the power of faith, community, and unwavering dedication. We began as part of the RCCG Jesus Assembly food hub. Born from a simple act of kindness during the isolating times of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Food Hub blossomed into a vital resource for hundreds in Tottenham, London. It's where people united, supported each other, and built a stronger community. The story began in 2020 when the RCCG Jesus Assembly recognized the struggles faced by its members due to lockdowns. It began with volunteers delivering care packages, a small gesture that ignited a larger mission. By Christmas, over 2,000 Christmas hampers were distributed within the community. This dedication culminated in the launch of the RCCG Jesus Assembly FoodHub in January 2022. Partnering with organizations like Felix Project, fareshare, city harvest and 3Food4U, the Food Hub became a weekly haven, providing essential food supplies to over 780 households every Sunday. Our food packages include a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, staple grains, and protein sources like meat and beans. Its reach extended beyond the church's community, serving 7 churches, 2 mosques and 2 charities in the area as well as the general public on a non referral basis. Anyone could come to us. The Blossom 3Food4U FoodHub bloomed from RCCG’s vision. Blossom is a stand alone charity, ensuring that public donations and grants for the food hub can have separate financial accounts. RCCG Jesus Assembly and 3Food4U sponsor us and many of the church’s generous congregation volunteer with us. We evolved from church run to a mix of everyone in the community, all religions, all races coming together to fulfil the dream that RCCG started. We envision a future where we can help as many people struggling with food insecurity as we can. The help we need: Surplus: The more surplus we are donated the more people we can help. Storage: A dedicated facility will allow us to store and preserve various fresh and essential food items. Essential Appliances: Freezers and refrigerators will ensure the quality and safety of the food we provide. Streamlined Operations: Funding for dedicated transportation and vehicle maintenance will streamline our food collection process, allowing us to serve the community more effectively. By supporting the Blossom 3Food4U FoodHub, you're not just providing food but fostering hope, dignity, and a sense of belonging for those facing hardship. Over the past year, we have witnessed a profound transformation in our community members' physical and mental well-being. Your contribution will continue nourishing bodies, nurturing spirits, and empowering community members to build a brighter future.
