Food Bank volunteers needed more than ever
The Waste Warriors at Milton Keynes recently volunteered their time at Milton Keynes Food Bank. Providing over 13,000 food parcels a year, the food bank is providing a crucial lifeline to local residents.
The Food Bank relies entirely on donations of food and money from local schools, churches, businesses, organisations and individuals and every single item or penny given makes a difference. Businesses, Churches and Community Groups can all get involved helping The Food Bank in a variety of ways. The warehouse and serving centres are manned by volunteers, everyone digs in and does their best, if you can offer your time to your local food bank, please give it a go.
How Does The Food Bank Work?
Referral Agencies identify families and individuals who need support and issue a voucher entitling them to a food parcel. Food parcels can be picked up from one of the serving sessions located around the city. Clients can receive a food parcel x5 times within a rolling 12 month period. (Although they are flexible in some cases when clients need further help.) Find out more here.
