FFA street collectors and individual donors bring donations of food and toiletries to the sorting hub each week on Tuesdays between 10.30 and midday.
The sorting hub is hosted by the Ardagh Community Trust on Horfield Common Kellaway Avenue BS6 7YL
Donations, including those bought with the financial donations e.g. eggs and dairy produce, are allocated according to our partners’ wish lists.
The donations are bagged up and loaded into volunteer drivers’ cars…
…and taken to the partner organisations for them to distribute to families in need or used to provide healthy meals.
Bulk orders of fresh fruit and vegetables and some dairy products and meat, funded by our financial donations are delivered direct to partners
Food is then used to produce meals (at Felix Road and the Vench), or distributed to families though weekly Food Clubs (at St Paul’s, Southmead and the Vench) or through the school at (May Park.) Bulk deliveries are made to supply food clubs in St Werburgh’s, St Jude’s and Lawrence Weston.
