Hope:asha is a founding member of Tower Hamlets Food Bank, launched in November 2010. The Food Bank provides food parcels for people who do not have any food, by working with frontline agencies such as GP surgeries and children’s centres. These agencies have vouchers that they can give to people that they identify as not having enough food, and the people bring the vouchers to a Distribution Centre where they will be given food for 3-4 days. The Salvation Army in Poplar is one of the borough's distribution centres, too.There are also plenty of volunteering opportunities for the Foodbank so if you can spare an hour or two please let us know and we will give you the details of how to get involved. In fact on Saturday 5th February there is a collection of food at Sainsburies in Whitechapel - please let us know if you'd like to help out.
