Emma Spring, CEO at BanktheFood, says…

“We have enjoyed working with the Greenwich Foodbank Team toward our shared goal of empowering those who want to donate, to do so in an informed way.  The relationship of mutual support between Bank the Food and Greenwich Foodbank has been great. Long may it continue.

It’s no secret that food banks urgently need donations to help the community. But often generous donors unintentionally donate the same items. BanktheFood is a charity on a mission to ensure food banks have the right balance of what they need and #notjustbakedbeans. We hope as many people as possible will use the app.”
