Peckham Food Bank

[ratty]

They are collecting at East Dulwich (DKH) Sainsburys this morning. Please add an item to your shopping to donate!

We did this yesterday and I would like to donate something every week. Does anyone have contact details for the Foodbank? It would be brilliant if they could set up a donation box at Sainsburys so people could drop something in regularly if they so choose.

Can you believe it's come to this...

They did the same for Lewisham food bank at Sainsburys in Forest Hill. Great idea. Should be a permanent idea. Food banks are being overwhelmed by families in need of basics, so this is more important than ever.

Buddug, yes its come to this. I work for a London council and we've been giving out food vouchers for about 1 year now. We offer them to people who have a crisis and I can assure you their are lots of them and they come from all walks of life. Some people are too proud to accept them but a lot have kids to feed and accept gladly. I will definitely get involved with my local food bank as its such a worthwhile cause.

The food banks are a vital lifeline, and I shall definitely give what I can - but it's unbelievable that this is happening in Britain. Absolutely unbelievable.

We are having a donation/collection for the Foodbank at my child's school in conjunction with the Harvest Festival.

If you are part of a school association or group why not do the same...

When I was first in UK, I do not know which restaurant served best. I always search in Google for a long time. I also receive advice from my fellow. Then they suggest me to use Restaau software .Restaau.co.uk is a smart search engine of restaurants for most of cities in UK in which you can make sure you've got the latest information for nearly 90,000 restaurants across most of cities in UK. When you need a help to find a restaurant, try it! very quick. I am sastified when using it

Take a look at this. I plan to start doing just that. If the supermarkets got on board and created collection points that would make it even easier.

What can you do to help? Buy someone #22mealsforacoffee (That?s 22 meals for the price of a ?3 coffee?)
