The cause is to feed the people spiritually and physically We are a community and have extended to a food bank, striving to eradicate hunger in the community, Our food bank network helps people break free from poverty by providing additional support to help people resolve the crises they're facing so that they don't need to use a food bank again in the future. This could include things like debt advice, mental health support, or benefits guidance . In addition to reducing hunger, our food banks help to build communities by providing jobs and being gifted left over food ,goods and services from local businesses, creating an economic stimulus in the areas they serve. Importantly, food donations also help low-income families free up money to meet other basic needs.we currently collect from 6 co-operative stores on a daily base,And we collect from the Costco store in Bushy and Hayes, We partner with CLF and a few other churches and we have decided to open another distribution centre in the middle of Bury park the heart of Luton ,which will be an easy get to point due to the flow of public transport and the town centre being only a 10 minute walk away .And Our work with Neighbourly is a key part to be able to support local people.. We currently have volunteers on standby ready to pick up food from any location. In and around Luton

With the levels of unemployment, along with the number of low-paid employees living in Brent, many residents find themselves at a crisis point. They are unable to feed their families and provide for life’s basic needs. There may, however, be many other challenges within the family, which may contribute to the family crisis. It is bearing this in mind that the Centre of Help and Hope was conceived. The Centre provides the following services: Food bank Clothing hub Befriending service Gardening services Counselling services Light domestic help Vocational skills Intentional parenting courses
