B&Q Luton

True Vine Food Support is a Luton based service that was set up to meet the needs of the vulnerable in our local area. We operate from the local church premises in Park Street, Luton. We are passionate about unsold and surplus food not going to waste so we use it to help our local community. We are open to all members of our local community. We create food parcels for the homeless, vulnerable and low income families. These parcels are free of charge to those who are referred to us by other local charities, low income families with children and others who, after gathering some information, we identify as requiring food support. We believe that surplus food should not be wasted in landfill but given to those in need. We encourage our service users to make the most of the food by giving ideas of meals that could be cooked from the donated foods. We currently collect food from Lidl and Aldi only. Our services users also appreciate the flowers that are available to collect from time to time. An additional service that we provide is recycling donated furniture and children's toys. The service is run by volunteers who sort the food into individual parcels based on the user's needs, man the collection reception and lend a listening ear when needed. Our aim is to support our local community not just with food parcels but with warmth and loving care. Our services are provided free of charge. The collection desk is open every Sunday from 2pm - 4pm, no appointment is needed.

NOAH is a registered charity working in Luton to help homeless people, rough sleepers and those in the community who are in danger of falling through the safety net of support services. At the heart of our vision is a belief in the fundamental dignity and worth of every individual. We have a resolve to work with those who are disadvantaged to improve their life quality and opportunities. We run an award-winning Welfare Centre, Outreach Team, Resettlement Service, housing advice and access, Cold Weather Shelter, a thriving Social Enterprise and a range of training projects covering life skills and moving towards employment. Our approach focuses on practical, caring and empowering services, particularly to temporary or entrenched rough sleepers and those who are marginalised and socially excluded or have fallen into poverty.

To provide residential and supportive services for those who for many reasons and circumstances are unable to obtain appropriate accomodation to meet their needs.
