How Do Uk Food Banks Work. Volunteers meet clients over a warm drink or free hot meal and are able to signpost people to agencies able to solve the longer-term problem. There are over 420 food banks currently run by the Trussell Trust which in the last year fed 330205 children.
At the food bank volunteers sort the food to check it is in date and box it up ready to be handed out. They not only provide a kind listening ear but can also point people in the direction of other agencies that can help them through tough times. A food bank is a non-profit organization that collects and distributes food to hunger-relief charities.
There are over 1200 food bank centres in our network.
Food banks react to the needs of the community to best offer help and support to local people who are in crisis. Schools churches businesses and individuals donate non-perishable in-date food to a foodbank. But whilst we work for long-term change our network of food banks provides emergency food and compassionate dignified support to people locked in crisis.
