ABOUT HULLS FOODBANKS
Making A Difference by Improving Lives
The food banks provide crisis food support to those most in need including those who are affected by working poverty.
The East Hull Foodbank and Beannie Street Foodbank operate from
The Maurice Rawling community Centre on Bean Street West Hull.
We also introduced our 3rd foodbank Hulls Foodbanks Online
to combat the Corona Virus Emergency were isolation
that would deny thousands of people getting access to food
We deliver the food parcels directly to peoples homes in every corner of Hull
All our Food Banks are run entirely by volunteers who give their time for free to help others.
We have a management committee of 5 and approximately 25 additional volunteers
that also give their time for free to collect donations, run the administration of the food bank and deliver our services.
At present we rely on generous donations from individuals and businesses who provide us with food and other donations.
Even some of our former clients come back and donate once they have got back on their feet.
