Foodbank
Introduction
The East Bristol Foodbank is the latest CCM project. We have always provided food parcels to people who have somewhere to live but still struggle to pruchase food; this now provides the food parcel service on a more structured basis.
How a Foodbank Works
In outline, it is very simple:
- Food is donated. We receive it from many sources.
- Food is sorted and stored by volunteers, who check that it is in date ready to be given to people in need.
- Frontline care professionals identify people in need, and given them a foodbank voucher.
- Clients bring their voucher to the foodbank centre where it is exchanged for three days emergency food.
- Volunteers meet clients over a cup of tea or free hot meal and signpost people to agencies able to solve the longer-term problem.
