CLOSED - ALDI MIDDLETON

Breaking the waves foundation (BTWF)was founded in November 2020 after our founder had been assisting residents of Failsworth with food parcels, non essential food items and preloved clothing and toys since the beginning of COVID-19. Due to the demand we have now set up BTWF and are currently supporting families on a weekly basis. We also provided those families in financial hardship with gift parcels for their children to open on Christmas Day, this was with the support of Axiom and local community groups. Please feel free to look at our FB or Instagram page for further information/pictures. We wish to expand and not have to decline any request for support and the only way we can do this is by having continued and regular support from local businesses. We therefore would consider gifted items of food and toiletries. Thank you

Humans MCR are Manchester's food bank on wheels. We provide nutritionally balanced, culturally appropriate food parcels for the residents of Manchester, Salford and Bury. Once a client is referred into us, we then deliver the food parcel to their doorstep. We operate every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Middleton Central Foodbank provides emergency food parcels for people who find themselves in crisis. Every day in Middleton, people and families go hungry for reasons ranging from redundancy, receiving an unexpected bill, being in work but on a low income, or difficulty due to having benefits altered or stopped. The foodbank is part of the national Trussell Trust foodbank network and the project is run by Inspire Middleton and supported by several local churches. We operate using a voucher system through a network of community based organisations. We are currently working with over 50+ local agencies who hold our foodbank vouchers and provide the simple, practical gift of food and support for the people they work with at the point of crisis. Each food parcel contains a mixture of items and enough food to last the individual or family supported for up to 3 days. Our food is non–perishable and it is donated to us by the public, businesses, and through local supermarket collections. To help clients become free from poverty, we also signpost them to support from the Lighthouse Project and other local organisations that may be able to resolve their underlying problem or issues.
