Lidl Coventry Foleshill

Anesis provides food, clothing, and hygiene packs for upto 230 people every Sunday afternoon between 2.30-3.30pm, underneath the Coventry flyover. Our homeless service users are prioritised but no one is turned away. We believe in faith expressing itself through love. We also provide food parcels for Tuesday Drop In at North Point Church, Coventry, between 10am-12pm. This space welcomes members of the local community to have fellowship with one another whilst enjoying a hot drink and snack, before leaving with a food parcel. We are mostly known via word of mouth, but also receive referrals from GPs, churches, or local schools. Emergency food parcels are arranged for individuals and families on a referral and need basis. We are a small team of 20 volunteers, 10 of which serve regularly. We partner with many other local charities and have great relationships with the stores that provide food surplus. We serve a diverse population of all genders, ages, abilities, and ethnicities. The number of service users has doubled in the past 2 years. We supply fresh fruits, vegetables and bread, as well as long life products. We also make packed lunches for our homeless service users. Hygiene packs, bedding and clothing are also made available. Please get in touch if you are interested in volunteering with us, or wish to know more about rhe service we provide. We are currently in need of a social media volunteer manager, surplus collection driver or assistant, sandwich maker, fundraiser/grant specialist, and those who wish to serve on Sundays.

We are a non profit organisation that does weekly street feeds in Hillfields and Willenhall alongside dropping food supplies to shelters and charities. We operate a 7 days a week food parcel drop off service to houses too and currently need the support of more businesses to carry on our work supporting those in the community in need.

Carriers of Hope have teamed up with St. Marks Church and Youth With A Mission (YWAM) to establish a WorldFoods Food Hub. Operating weekly, our aim is to provide culturally relevant food to members and their families. For just £5, individuals who meet the criteria for membership (Refugee, Migrant or Asylum Seeker resident in the CV1 area requiring help towards food costs) can choose a basket of groceries with a retail value of approximately £30. The groceries include Halal meat, fresh bread and a selection of fruit and vegetables – the selection changes weekly and is dependent upon availability.
