You can now support us with food donations via the BanktheFood app!

BanktheFood is an amazing charity that provides a free app to link food banks with donors at the most crucial time; when donors are at the supermarket.

Now how does the BanktheFood app work? 

As mentioned on their website, the BanktheFood is very simple to use.

Once you have followed Hackney Foodbank, the app will send you a helpful ‘ping’ with a reminder of your food banks’ needs when you are shopping in your local supermarket.

You can then choose exactly what you would like to donate and leave your donation in Hackney Foodbank’s collection box at the end of your shopping trip.

Hackney Foodbank will then be alerted via the app of your (anonymous) donation making it easier for us to track and locate items we really need.
