Here’s how we operated Foodbank day!
Tonnes of food from Nighat and Humdum UK, milk and bread from the Bethel Centre, Barking, food from two supporting organisations.
I am very keen on the Humdum model and very impressed by the way the team have bought together all community support organisations.
Thank you Simone and Pasta Remoli for the delicious home cooked pasta which which was delivered by volunteers at the Hedgecock Community Centre Foodbank to our vulnerable and homebound recipients today!
Many thanks to our very own Dulal Ahmed from Crisis and Greg Mangham, Only a Pavement Away for facilitating this.
Thanks to the power of networking we are able to provide nourishment to those in need. The Hedgecock Community Centre Foodbank is operating a strict policy and our volunteers are betting and reviewing cases on an ongoing basis. We focus and encourage independence and will now be encouraging food parcel collections by recipients soon.
There are some special cases who will continue to receive deliveries, residents who are disabled physically and mentally, the elderly and infirm.
We also received a delivery of delicious food from GMG Gurdwara - We make a terrific team here.
Our recipients are upfront and honest. The feedback from them has been excellent with regards to the quality and taste of the vegetarian dishes.
I’ve always admired the efforts of my Sikh brothers and sisters and their sheer single mindedness when it comes to selfless community service.
Their efforts are really inspiring. I’ve observed their practises for years and learnt so much to boot.
Stay blessed everyone - You are all a shining example of humanity and we are so proud to work with you.
