ALDI NORTHAMPTON - HARLESTONE RD

Foodkind began as Revolution Zero in Northamptonshire, with an environmental mission to stop good food going to waste – and to campaign about the over-supply in our wider food system. We collect surplus food from supermarkets and share it with the community. As our network of Shop Zero and Cafe Zero projects is closed during Covid-19, we are focused on food aid. From the start of lock down, our ‘Bags of Good’ team has delivered thousands of food parcels and taken fresh produce out to charities and food banks for their work to support vulnerable and isolated people, promoting #zero hunger #zero waste. Supermarkets are often left with unsold, but perfectly edible, food. Thanks to an unmatched team of collectors, we pick up from a wide variety of stores and bring produce to our hubs to be stored in our goods area; or frozen or chilled. Other volunteers work in our network of shops (pop-up and bricks and mortar), event stalls and cafes. The chefs and waiting staff create delicious meals, tailoring menus to match our stock. We offer training and are committed to making sure volunteering adds value for our colleagues. Schools, charities and other charities also share our produce and we support new projects to get going. As a Community Interest Company we invest any profits into developing the enterprise.

We are a Community Foodbank based in the Briar Hill area of Northampton, England. We have been operating since Wed 14th April 2021 and it has been a real pleasure to be of service to those in need in this area and we hope to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. We have a wonderful team of volunteers who ensure the smooth running of the operation.

We are a Foodbank operating as a branch of Restore Northampton. We started in October of 2015 as we saw there was and still is a great need to help those who find themselves in difficult financial circumstances. We have a dedicated Team of volunteers who come each week and willingly give their support. Our objectives are to help Members of the public who have hit hard times, they are able to come and receive food parcels to help them out, not only food but also personal items soap, shampoo etc. kitchen cleaning products, baby products and end of line stuff that shops give us which can range from a pair of shoes to frying pan. We open each Monday From 12..00pm to 2.00pm excluding bank holidays. We operate from The Seventh-day Adventist Church, 74 Highlands Avenue, Spinney Hill, Northampton NN3 6BQ We Are a foodbank so we give food parcels to those who fall on hard time and are in need food. We do not receive any food donations from anywhere else other than what Neighbourly have arranged for us, and we are thankful for the fresh produce we collect from ALDI Weston Favel, Northampton each week (See Photos below) We haven't any local publicity as far as we know, but the neighbours know that we run a foodbank. We operate as a branch of Restore Northampton and they are a registered charity and have all the legal documents required.
