Donations required for food bank,
Love North Southwark!

 
Over the course of the recent pandemic, one food bank in North Southwark has sprung up to support local residents get through challenges. Now, this food bank needs your help!
 

In 2021, Love North Southwark opened a food 'pantry' cooperative. The pantry aims to remove stigma from food poverty and restore dignity to those who need a little help to get by. Currently, it is open on Fridays.

They are looking to buy equipment to run the shop, and are keen to hear from people who can help supply them with mobile shelving. They are also looking for donations to pay for a till to make transactions, congestion charge fees so they can reach residents who live within the congestion zone, and other items for the shop such as baskets, bags, and other essential food items.
