Welcome to the Save our surplus squad SOS A friendly network committed to sharing food to those who need it most. We have been volunteering for over 5 years now with Blonde Angels Street Team so now we formed a separate wing . We're here to bridge the gap between surplus and smiles, offering more than meals - a community ready to lend a supportive hand "Got extra food" Why not share the love ! Helping others with your surplus not only clears your pantry but also puts a smile on someone's face Together, let's make a difference one meal at a time Because "Sharing is caring " We helping everyone who comes through our doors. We won't let anyone down. We will help with food for free. We will further navigate to other places and services if needed. As we formed ourselves from Blonde Angels Street Team We are still helping homeless and shelters ❤ We are and will help those who need 🙏

We are a foodbank with 9 different centres reaching and feeding around 1400 people a month. Our donation levels just can't keep up with our referrals, so we need your help to help the people in our area that need it most.

We support young people and families across South Gloucestershire who are facing financial hardship by providing essential food, educational, and hygiene supplies. Much of our work focuses on neighbourhoods among the most deprived in the country, where poverty and lack of basic resources can make it difficult for children and families to thrive. Patchway is recognised as one of South Gloucestershire’s priority neighbourhoods, with many areas among the most deprived 20% nationally. That’s why we launched the 'Patchway Community Food Hub', which offers free, dignified, no-referral access to free food and hygiene essentials for residents across Patchway and Charlton Hayes. This service restores a much-needed community lifeline, ensuring everyone has a warm, welcoming place to turn to when times are tough. --- In Romania, we are committed to expanding the Vision in a Backpack initiative providing children facing disadvantage with fully equipped school backpacks. Each backpack is filled with high quality stationery and learning materials which enabled each child to express themselves and above all learn. We will continue working with Romanian charities and NGOs on projects aligned with our shared mission. Alongside these partnerships, we remain dedicated to improving school facilities and infrastructure in disadvantaged communities. Regrettably, due to increased transportation and customs costs following Brexit, our Bristol-based Christmas Gift Box appeal remains on hold until at least 2027.
