ALDI SHEFFIELD - ST MARY'S GATE

We are a voluntary organisation run by our Church which provides a hot meal for the homeless and vulnerable people within the community. Not only hot meals but we also provide clothing and savouries for them to take away with them, including bread. We also offer support and advice when needed. There are unwanted plants that is given a new lease of life in our car park ( pictures added to gallery). Users can enjoy while on the premises.

Our Trussel Trust Foodbank operates in the Gleadless Valley area of Sheffield. Our foodbank is a project founded by local churches and community groups, working together towards stopping hunger in our local area. Our service users are referred to us by the council and other local organisations. All food provided through the Foodbank is offered free of charge. We also run Danny's place which serves a three course meal two days a week for an affordable donation to those below the poverty line in our local community.

Looprun is a response division and part of an independent social enterprise. This is more than food and is part of a supportive services platform to help people get sustained in their own individual way. With up to 94% success rate and seeing once those receiving free Looprun response bags to returning to stores as shoppers with baskets full. These are the impact stories created when all come together to do good for good. Service users are signposted to Looprun mostly from referrals including professionals in social and healthcare. Looprun provides free non perishables, perishable food, toiletries, pet food, brand new clothing and gifts to people facing a temporary challenge. Whatever supermarkets, stores, and retailers can do is turned into a grateful donation to a neighbour in need. This is a response to real people in real-time. No food is banked providing a direct in and out service. We believe if the food is stored then a person in need is not getting any food, hence we provide an instant response and instant impact service. Looprun has access to professional volunteers who carry out a confidential support service to people in need. From homeless shelters, hostels, sheltered housing, care homes, soup kitchens and schools. This is a non voucher, free and confidential service. This means Looprun can reach more people in need with food donations. Anyone that receives a Looprun bag of essential food items is sustained, thus creating a loop cycle. All are invited to become part of these sustainable stories in your local community.
