Whitchurch and Wem Food Hubs
Whitchurch, UK
The Whitchurch Food Hub is being run by Simon Tooth (pictured) of Big Red;'s House who also runs Cliffords House Cafe and a Community Fridge. The Wem Food Hub is being run by volunteers and currently only collects on a Sunday. They take food to the Wem Town Hall charity's cafe , Wem Good Neighbours and Scouts and Guides. Both Food hubs are being supported by Shrewsbury Food Hub. SFH collects surplus food from supermarkets and delivers it to charities and groups in Shrewsbury that feed people as part of their daily work, saving them money. Since we started in April 2016 we have redistributed 9 tonnes or 21,000 meals equivalent of surplus food to groups in our town, saving them about £8,000. Our fantastic volunteers get food to more than 30 groups across town, including The Severn Hospice, The Ark, Food Bank Plus, Age UK, Shropshire Mind and ten school breakfast clubs including Meole Brace Primary, The Grange and Harlescott Juniors.
