Sainsbury's Kippax Local

Fill cupboards not landfill ! With the cost of living rising dramatically, we aim to provide members with a good selection of affordable prices saving food from landfill. Members can choose 12 items at a set affordable price of £3.50. Unlike a food bank we are open to all. We source our food from surplus, and so we provide a simple solution to wasting less through the sharing of good quality food. People can also donate surplus food or drop in and get some food when they need it. We receive deliveries from Fareshare, Rethink, Morrisons, Manning Stainton, One Stop, Pets at Home, Arla, Gregs and other local groups and organisations. We are part of the Leeds Food Aid Network (FAN) and the Hubbub/ Co-op Community Fridge Network. You can find us at St James’ Manston church hall off Church Lane LS15 8JB. Thursdays 2-4pm and 6-7pm Fridays 9-11am We have a drop in on Thursdays in the church next door where members can enjoy refreshments while they wait for their shopping slot. All our sessions are registered as warm spaces. In the last 6 months, we have provided almost 7000 meals to over 300 individual members with a total of almost 1000 beneficiaries. Of these, 66 households had pensioners, 65 households had people with disabilities and 174 households were families with children. On average 75 members attend each week . https://www.facebook.com/CommunityFridgeCrossgates/

Supporting struggling families and people in our community with emergency food parcels, vouchers, utility top ups and help with clothing and household essentials.

We are a not for profit organisation and our service is confidential and free. We receive referrals through social subscribers, social care, community groups and self referrals.

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, and brand new clothing 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.
