our mission
join our community in the fight for a hunger-free Hackney
We support people who are in crisis or trapped in poverty with compassion and dignity. We do this by providing emergency food parcels, which offer practical, immediate relief in moments of crisis, and by connecting people with local organisations that can help them to address the root causes and wider effects of poverty in their lives.
about our food bank
together we can make a difference
Since opening in 2012, we have distributed over 864,632kg of food and household items to people in crisis or trapped in poverty in Hackney. We are a voluntary organisation and rely on the kindness of our local community to keep our doors open. We work with over 200 partners and community organisations to provide relevant support.
We are an independent charity and member of the Trussell Trust Foodbank Network fighting for a hunger-free future.
our approach
our three-stage approach to end hunger in hackney
We believe it is possible to change the circumstances that lead to hunger, and break cycles of poverty. All our work is underpinned by this belief.
