Sainsbury's Hertford

Myself together with 5 amazing ladies formed a voluntary group with the aim of helping the needy residents of Borehamwood, Hertfordshire . We found a venue, visited the local shops and together with some food donations we fed 31 families in our 1st week and 53 in our 2nd! WD6 Food Support was officially opened by Councillor Michelle Vince who represents one of the most deprived areas in Hertsmere! If anyone could help us with donations that would be amazing. We are now moving to new premises within a local school which is in a really deprived area of our community and we hope we will be able to help alleviate some of the food poverty in the area.

Food Rescue Hub is a new food boutique, where unsold food destined for destruction can be rescued and instead, diverted from the bin by being offered to the community. The historic market town in the East of England, in fact the first to attain Fairtrade status in the county, is a prime hot spot for on-premise trade along with an array of well supported and much loved unique independent businesses. The uncooked food recovered from retail operators and local food businesses, are available on the pay-as-you-feel (PAYF) basis, making it accessible and encouraged to all members of the community, providing opportunities to make inroads to starting or furthering a journey of living a life of less environmentally detrimental impact. The Food Rescue Hub intends to provide regular and well supported opportunities to introduce and empower the community to engage in environmental conversations.

At Jedidiah, we believe nobody should have to choose between dignity and dinner. We are a community pantry with a big heart and an even bigger sense of welcome. We're more than a place to fill a shopping bag. We're a place to be seen. Our shelves are stocked with good, nourishing food, and our doors are open to anyone who needs them: no judgement, no awkward questions, just a friendly face and a fuller basket on the way out. We're powered by volunteers and held together by one simple belief: a strong community looks after its own. Food is about more than what's on the plate, it's comfort, connection, and the quiet reassurance that someone's got your back.
