Carriers of Hope have teamed up with St. Marks Church and Youth With A Mission (YWAM) to establish a WorldFoods Food Hub. Operating weekly, our aim is to provide culturally relevant food to members and their families. For just £5, individuals who meet the criteria for membership (Refugee, Migrant or Asylum Seeker resident in the CV1 area requiring help towards food costs) can choose a basket of groceries with a retail value of approximately £30. The groceries include Halal meat, fresh bread and a selection of fruit and vegetables – the selection changes weekly and is dependent upon availability.

We are a non profit organisation that does weekly street feeds in Hillfields and Willenhall alongside dropping food supplies to shelters and charities. We operate a 7 days a week food parcel drop off service to houses too and currently need the support of more businesses to carry on our work supporting those in the community in need.

Canley Food Hub at Canley Community Centre supports local residents and families experiencing food poverty, financial hardship, and isolation across Canley and surrounding areas of Coventry. We provide affordable food support alongside community activities, wellbeing sessions, ESOL opportunities, youth activities, older adult groups, and welcoming community spaces. The food hub currently supports around 80 households and demand continues to grow due to ongoing cost of living pressures. We work with families, older adults, vulnerable residents, and people from diverse community backgrounds to help reduce isolation, improve wellbeing, and strengthen local community connections. Alongside food support, we also provide opportunities for people to connect through community meals, afternoon tea events, volunteering, and practical support activities. We regularly work with local volunteers, churches, and community partners to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where people feel supported and valued. We are currently seeking additional support through donations, volunteers, and community partnerships to help us continue expanding our services and meeting increasing local need.
