Yesterday, ICSS partnered with Helping Hopes to operate an additional food bank at Redbridge Hub on Ilford Lane, supported by Foodbanked. Weeks of meticulous preparation culminated in a successful event.
Surplus food, donated by local supermarkets as well as additional supplies delivered by the Felix Project, were distributed alongside essential food items to individuals and families in need. Approximately 300 people benefited from the initiative, each receiving two to three bags of groceries. Tokens were issued to those most in need following council vetting, allowing them to access the food bank.
