Funnel
Pending display name
We aim to address food insecurity by helping local residents establish hyperlocal donation points to collect food, which we then distribute to food banks and other community organisations in need.
About this cause
Funnel helps the community by collecting and transporting food from local residents to food banks and community organisations. Established in response to the sharp increase in food bank usage during the Covid-19 crisis, as a network of hyperlocal community-run donation points, we partner with mutual aid groups, community and faith-based organisations and food banks to help address food insecurity.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Our project provides community groups/residents with opportunities to volunteer together to establish donation points and raise awareness of food insecurity. Volunteers report feeling they are making a difference in their community. It has a positive impact on community wellbeing by increasing the amount of food that food banks/community groups can provide to those experiencing food insecurity.
