We provide a week's worth of food and essentials for individuals and families in crisis throughout the Uttlesford area. We have three depots in Saffron Walden, Dunmow and Stansted and throughout the COVID-19 pandemic have been providing a doorstep service. We work with referral agencies across Uttlesford, including Citizens Advice Bureau, council departments including benefits and housing, mental health and community nurses. We are supported entirely by donations and apart from one part-time member of staff who is funded by a grant we are fully staffed by volunteers - last count 81.
Alongside our food parcels we also supply clients with fresh food vouchers to spend at local supermarkets and shops to ensure they get an appropriate range of food and choice.
