ALDI MADELEY

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.

The project relies on generous donations from the public and businesses to keep going.
