Zero Hunger is a community-led food movement dedicated to reducing food insecurity, preventing loneliness, and tackling food waste across Hart, Rushmoor, Basingstoke & Deane and surrounding areas. We provide access to quality surplus food through our community outreach venues, helping individuals and families facing financial hardship while also creating welcoming, safe spaces where people can connect and feel supported. Our work helps save tonnes of perfectly good food from going to waste each year and redistributes it directly back into the community. We currently serve between 400 to 500 people and week. Alongside food support, we actively promote wellbeing, inclusion, and community engagement through volunteer opportunities and local partnerships. Our volunteers — known as Food Heroes — are at the heart of everything we do and help us create a positive, non-judgemental environment for everyone who accesses our services. We are always grateful for support in the form of surplus food donations, volunteers, and community partnerships. Additional support allows us to expand our outreach, reach more vulnerable people, and continue building stronger, healthier communities where no one goes hungry or feels alone.

We are an independent foodbank operating in gu35 area of Hampshire. We have been operating for over 12 years and have seen demand increase dramatically in the last year. Our organisation is run totally by volunteers. Several local supermarkets willingly have a collection box. This enables shoppers to place donations of food stuff in as they leave the supermarket, we have also been extremely fortunate to receive regular monetary donations from local companies and individuals. This enables us to continue to support many families, couples and single people in need of temporary help at this time. OUR clients come from all walks of life and we aim to help everyone who contacts us with requests for help. We operated all through the lockdowns and have drivers who make DELIVERIES for those isolating or elderly. As part of our food bank we have a children's clothes bank catering for ages birth to 11 years. We have many items of school uniform, a limited supply of footwear and coats. All are in almost new condition.

The Hale Community Centre is a community resource that provides a range of services, Including a Community Fridge & Cupboard. We aim to re-distribute unwanted edible food from local businesses and individual households, which can then be taken by anyone who wants to get involved with the project. This prevents the food going to waste and into landfill. We would like to become a part of the community and bring people together, whilst looking after our environment.
