Feed My City is awarded the King’s Award
We are thrilled to announce that Feed My City has been awarded the Kings Award for Voluntary Service. This is the highest award to be given to volunteer groups and equivalent to an MBE, so it is a truly fantastic achievement.
This award is specifically to recognise our volunteers. We want to thank every volunteer for everything they do to help Feed My City carry out its essential work. Our service would not be possible without the volunteer’s kindness, generosity and time. So volunteers, thank you so much.
We also hope this award can help us expand our service and support more of those in need.
What does Feed My City do?
We provide simple, vegetarian, nourishing hot food and emergency food parcels to those most in need in Manchester, Salford, Trafford and some other areas of Greater Manchester. We do this without any questions or judgment and our services are free of charge.
We operate 7 days a week, between the hours of 8am and 9pm.
Our services are available to individuals, NHS Care Navigators, Agencies supporting the homeless, Asylum Seekers, Housing Associations, those supporting offenders, Citizens’ Advice Bureaux, churches, food banks and many, many more.
How do we do it?
7 days a week, a team of 4 volunteers answer the phone to incoming emergency food requests.
On weekdays, our cooking team cooks and packs the hot meals. The meals are then available for collection and delivery for those unable to collect them.
Emergency dry food parcels are available 7 days a week as the items for the dry bags are delivered and packed weekly by volunteers ready for collection and delivery.
Why do we do it?
We believe everyone has a right to basic food, no matter who they are, where they have come from or whether they have money.
Many of our volunteers have experienced food poverty and financial hardship. Therefore, they would like to make a positive contribution to change the lives of people in need.
No one should experience poverty or hunger, and that is why we offer no judgement and ask no questions about the people we serve.
