I have a freezer full of food to donate BUT I haven't found a food bank that will take frozen food. I also haven't found one that will let me drop off evenings or weekends. I'm at work during the day. 

Added complication its I don't have a car, I'll be bringing it by taxi. 

Anyone have sensible suggestions?

There are a number of food banks in N and E London. Maybe easier to goggle them or look up Hackney Council's list of warm hubs and work your way through those who also have food banks etc. I think it is also the Trussell Trust that operates some food banks.

I've done this but haven't found one in Hackney that takes frozen food

I'd have thought frozen food wouldn't be accepted anywhere, because you couldn't tell if it had been thawed (and if so for how long) and then refrozen.

For some things this probably  wouldn't matter, except for possible loss of  quality (?) but for other things it could be a health hazard.

Worth a try, they take frozen food and they collect within the M25

If you input SE15 into the search on this website it brings up a local pantry that takes frozen food

Thank you for trying but I'd already looked at these and they collect from businesses/have a minimum weight donation.

Cheers. I'll try calling them in the half term. 

Thank you. That's very kind of you but I'm bringing it over from Hackney!

Albrighton do have freezers and give out frozen food. Definitely worth a try.

Thanks for the tip - very helpful. I'm hoping to take it down next week. Xx

    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. They're clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
