St Albans - HQ Office

Tonnes of fresh food are thrown away every day by supermarket across the UK. Children go to school hungry every morning, mothers skip meals to feed their family, elderly people and those with mental illness are under nourished. Gratitude collects fresh, nutritious food that cannot be sold by supermarkets. They make this into a scrumptious free lunch every Wednesday and redistribution surplus food to charities and shelters. We also collect non-food item and redistribution the surplus to charities, shelters and those who are in need in the community. We have now been serving for five years and have been helping feed an average of 250 people weekly.

We need volunteers to help us in our Community Fridge. We have lots of donations that need weighing, date checking and sorting, as well as ensuring appropriate rotation of our stock. We're based at the Oasis Centre on 1 Kennington Road and St George's Church.

NOAH is a registered charity working in Luton to help homeless people, rough sleepers and those in the community who are in danger of falling through the safety net of support services. At the heart of our vision is a belief in the fundamental dignity and worth of every individual. We have a resolve to work with those who are disadvantaged to improve their life quality and opportunities. We run an award-winning Welfare Centre, Outreach Team, Resettlement Service, housing advice and access, Cold Weather Shelter, a thriving Social Enterprise and a range of training projects covering life skills and moving towards employment. Our approach focuses on practical, caring and empowering services, particularly to temporary or entrenched rough sleepers and those who are marginalised and socially excluded or have fallen into poverty.
