Six years ago, we started with one big idea: get food banks what they actually need, when they need it.
It began with just a handful of food banks, some hopeful conversations, and a vision for a zero-waste donation model powered by technology and human generosity.
Today, thanks to you, that idea has become a national movement—delivering over 5 million items to 295 food banksacross the UK.
💥 The Impact So Far
Since 2019:
💷 £5.3+ million donated and used to purchase food bank supplies
🏙️ 295 food banks supported in 96 towns and cities across the UK
🚚 4,338 bulk deliveries made
🛍️ 131,030 food parcels provided
👨👩👧 174,211 people fed for a week
📦 5,226,323 items delivered (and counting)
Every donation. Every share. Every kind word. You’ve helped build something extraordinary.
