The Community Food Project, based in Tan Bank, Wellington, launched in 2016 and thousands of pounds worth of food was collected this month alone. The scheme is run entirely by volunteers and it has no paid staff or directors. Food is collected seven days a week from restaurants and retailers, then immediately distributed to organisations which send the donations to those who are homeless, vulnerable or in need of support. Surplus food is also provided to regular food share events across Shropshire the county. On Christmas Eve, volunteers collected food from four Aldi stores. The project relies on generous donations from the public and businesses to keep going.

We run a community Pantry and Foodbank, supplying food weekly to a wide range of local partners and individuals in need. These include local schools, supported housing providers working with ex-offenders, supported housing providers supporting homeless clients, local churches that run free food shares, and churches that provide a free food delivery...

We are a small organisation based in Newport, Shropshire. We are a zero waste project. Our team of 14 volunteers collect food from local retailers that would go for incineration or to landfill. We then redistribute it to the local community at a weekly event in Newport. We established in January 2021 under our own name but previously we had been working under the management of Food Share UK Telford since November 2019. We are now established at The Royal British Legion club where we have exclusive use of a room for storing our food collections.. We have fund raised to buy our own commercial fridge and freezer and pay for set up costs such as training ID badges, hi vis, signage etc. We hold a weekly event at the British Legion when we distribute the food collected to around 100 families per week. Although there are on going costs, 99% of funds raised can now go back into supporting our community. We have several projects in mind including providing food for pre and post school clubs ( one of which operates from the British Legion) and the Youth club in our town.
