Bounds Green Food Bank was established in June 2020 as a resource for those in need in our community. As members of the neighbourhood, our volunteers reflect the wide range of backgrounds and beliefs of those living in our part of North London. We are united in the vision that everyone in our community should have access to food. We set our own guidelines on how people can access the food on offer. This independence enables us to give guests the products they particularly need; which includes allowing a choice from what’s available including fresh produce, store cupboard essentials and cleaning products. Vision We envisage a community in which everyone has access to food and other essentials. Mission Our commitment is to share food across our community and improve lives by providing food and essential household items to build a healthy, hunger-free tomorrow. We aim to: • Promote social inclusion by supporting people who find themselves in a crisis situation where they need assistance to feed themselves and their families. • Provide first tier support and advice where needed, so that people can access available welfare entitlements and other support services. • Create opportunities for both guests and volunteers to broaden their skills and experiences so that we as a community develop and grow.
