5 ways to start an independent foodbank without charging the people who need it . We run a free foodbank for Mothers with children under 18 who are our customers and donators. We also provide an in store 5 weekly items of top up shopping to help mums get through the week without needing a full food bank. This takes pressure off the Government funded foodbanks. We can also make referrals to the Government foodbanks.

1. Collect tins from the public
2. Fundraising to buy food
3. Fairshare go (reduced end of day food) Free to collect by us.
4. Donated tins from the public behind the checkouts in the supermarkets.
5. Pay per ton of food delivered by Fareshare. Β£300 per ton approx. (Re point 2: fundraising to pay for the ton of food.

We are going to set up a just giving page to contribute towards the paid ton age of Fareshare food to provide families with two free bags of food at least once a month. Therefore if anyone would like to contribute to helping feed families monthly they can. We also have donation boxes in the shops.
