Bedford Foodbank
The Bedford Foodbank think that nobody in the community should face going hungry. That’s why they provide three days’ of emergency food and support to local people in crisis.
Every day people in the UK go hungry for reasons ranging from redundancy to receiving an unexpected bill on a low income. Bedford Foodbank supports people in need by providing donations of food and household products. Founded in 2004 and supported by The Trussell Trust’s network, Bedford volunteers work to provide a minimum of three days emergency food and support to anyone who may be experiencing a crisis. Last year, Trussell Trust foodbanks in the UK gave food over 1 million times to people experiencing food poverty.
SDC and its employees are long-standing supporters of the Bedford Foodbank, recently donating a brand-new van to replace one that was no longer fit-for-purpose. As a surprise for the volunteers at the foodbank, SDC employees filled the van with donations. These included items on the foodbanks ‘wanted’ list, but largely consisted of tinned goods, Christmas chocolates and puddings, soap and anti-bacterial cleaning products, toiletries and baby supplies.
