The Community Food Project, based in Tan Bank, Wellington, launched in 2016 and thousands of pounds worth of food was collected this month alone. The scheme is run entirely by volunteers and it has no paid staff or directors. Food is collected seven days a week from restaurants and retailers, then immediately distributed to organisations which send the donations to those who are homeless, vulnerable or in need of support. Surplus food is also provided to regular food share events across Shropshire the county. On Christmas Eve, volunteers collected food from four Aldi stores. The project relies on generous donations from the public and businesses to keep going.

We run a community Pantry and Foodbank, supplying food weekly to a wide range of local partners and individuals in need. These include local schools, supported housing providers working with ex-offenders, supported housing providers supporting homeless clients, local churches that run free food shares, and churches that provide a free food delivery...
