ALDI CASTLE BROMWICH

We are a charity that helps feed the homeless and those that are struggling financially. We cook a free breakfast and lunch every week on a Saturday where those in need can come and eat. We also open our doors every Tuesday evening as a food bank and give out donated food to those in need, items such as cereal, rice, pasta and tinned food. We are also planning on doing a ‘Fundraising Lunch’ where we will open up our doors to the whole community during lunchtime and Cook a lunch and ALL proceeds will go towards our bigger objective of helping those less fortunate within the community. We would love food donations to help those in Birmingham that reach out to us every week requesting food and help because they have no money, roof over their head or are just struggling to survive in this current climate.

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.
