About This Cause
A part of the Trussell Trust, Camden Foodbank is a charity run by a local church; RCCG City Church - We are part of the network of foodbanks run by the Trussell trust We provide non-perishable food for people in need. As Camden foodbank , we redistribute food in the capital, and provide practical and spiritual support to people in need. Camden foodbank was established by RCCG City Church in Pratt Mews in December 2011. We have also opened Our second center. Weekly distribution now takes place and we have seen a tenfold increase in clients since 2012/13 to 3188 clients supported in 2015/16. Our main focus has been collecting sufficient donations of non-perishable food to meet the demand in Camden. In the borough of Camden, located in central London, there are a significant number of homeless people. The wards with areas of greatest deprivation are Somers Town, Kings Cross, Regents Park, Camden Town, Haverstock, Gospel Oak and Kilburn, though paradoxically there is a mixture of more affluent housing in most of these wards. We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK. All food is donated by the public and logged and sorted by volunteers. Frontline care professionals such as: social workers, the police, GPs and the job center issue food vouchers to people in crisis. At distribution sessions like ours, people exchange these vouchers for three days’ worth of nutritionally balanced, non-perishable food. People are received in a safe atmosphere of warmth and care, while they also receive a friendly cup of tea or soft drink and signposting to agencies that can help resolve their situation. TOGETHER WE CAN help stop hunger. From donating food, volunteering your time or taking on an exciting fundraising challenge, there are lots of ways to get involved with raising awareness of poverty and helping stop UK hunger.
