Aims to move away from the foodbank model to a more dignified and sustainable model
Community led, empowering communities
Promotes access to nutritious food like meat, vegetables and fruit.
Provide training for volunteers in areas such as customer care, health and safety, food hygiene as well as providing experience in retail, thus upskilling the community in preparation to move onto employment
