We are extremely pleased to announce that you can now easily find out what items we need, and what we have lots of, by simply downloading and using the free ‘BanktheFood’ app for Android and IOS.
BanktheFood shared:
‘We are on a mission to ensure food banks always have exactly what they need, when they need it. Food banks often struggle with effectively communicating their realtime supply and demand needs to their donors.
Social media posts or notices in supermarkets, quickly go out of date or go unnoticed and as a result, food banks can be inundated with one item or have little of another. Regularly updating their realtime needs to their local community, can be a cumbersome admin task, which takes food bank volunteers away from their crucial work of collecting and distributing food. BanktheFood hopes to change this through an innovative free app which links food banks to donors at the most crucial time; when donors are at the supermarket.’
BanktheFood is a registered charity. (Charity Commission for England and Wales Number 1194167). Our app is free to use and always will be.’
