Hope Food Club
Northampton, UK
Hope Food Clubs help rebuild the lives of those living in Food Poverty in the Northamptonshire community. Our service provides weekly food parcels to relieve the pressure for individuals and families on weekly finances and is the gateway to the wider training and support that Hope has to offer. Food is where our program begins, with a £12.50 monthly contribution, access is given to £45+ worth of food each week (including tins, packets, fresh) and household items (including cleaning, toiletries and sanitary items). Fresh food is both donated and produced by our Hope Allotment and gardening team. Wider than the support offered for shopping, our customers have access to our incredible support and development network; Learning4Living. Learning4Living offeres a gateway to new skills and life experiences that both enhance peoples daily lives, improve their mental helath and give people a purpose in life (weather that is employment or indepndant lilving or any other life goal).

New for winter 2022, we are also opening up a Hope Cafe to faclitate a "Warm Space" where people who are enduring finncial hardship can come and stay warm during the day meaning that their is no longer a need to turn the heating on at home. We operate our food clubs in areas of significant deprivation across Northamptonshire and are continuing to expand this provision as further areas of need are identifed. What starts with food at Hope, becomes a true life change for those accessing our services.
