ALDI ALEXANDRIA

We aim to alleviate food poverty for the most vulnerable people in our community. We provide emergency food aid parcels to families with children and pensioners. We do this through both organisational and self referal services to ensure that those in most need receive the emergency assistance they require. This is facilitated in a friendly non-judgemental and helpful manner. We offer a weekly free soup and sandwich session which helps with social isolation and food insecurity alongside fostering a sense of community belonging. We also help with free lunch bags for local school children through any school holidays and a yearly Christmas Toy Bank.

We provide a safe and warm space for service users to receive a hot meal and drinks, and offer a food bank service where we ensure individuals and families have enough food to last them over the weekend. You can find us every Thursday from 11.30am at Trinity Church in Renton. We never refuse to help someone in need. We also provide help and support with clothes, easter and christmas. If you have and questions please feel free to message our facebook page which can be found on here.

We support children who have suffered trauma and come from disadvantaged backgrounds. We use animals as a source of therapy. We have been operating for 10 years supporting groups as well as children referred from local councils who fall under the hard to reach category. What we need: food and non-Food donations. The food will feed our animals and remaining surplus will be be composted to use in our growing areas. Hardware and non-food items will he support the day to day running of our farm and will also be helpful to use for the families we support and our volunteers. Our animals are: ponies, sheep, goats, alpacas, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens and pigs.
