Lidl Kettering

Kettering Foodbank exists because no one should go hungry. We provide people with food in time of crisis, and help to identify and resolve the underlying issues that cause them to fall into food poverty. We assess the situation of anyone who applies for a food parcel so that we can understand their particular needs, and sign post to other agencies for help and advice . Hopefully this will help individuals get out of food poverty and discourage food bank dependency . We are happy to promote our foodbank via local radio, and by giving talks to local businesses, schools and churches. We accept referrals from agencies within our area, from the local homeless teams, to schools and various NNC depts. Any surplus food we receive we have a 'help yourself' table outside our premises which is very well known and used. We try to ensure NOTHING goes to landfill..

We provide activities and trips for underprivileged children and families on our estate to try and support local families.
