FAMILY FOOD ACTION

Overview

FAMILY FOOD ACTION is a UK-based nonprofit organization, registered under the charity number 1198241. It operates primarily in North Bristol, focusing on addressing food poverty by collecting and distributing donated food and toiletries to families in need.

Mission and Activities

The charity aims to alleviate food poverty through community engagement and awareness. It achieves this by organizing a network of neighborhood volunteers who collect donations from local communities. These donations include essential food items such as cereals, pasta, rice, tinned goods, and non-perishable snacks. The charity also welcomes toiletries like nappies, sanitary towels, soap, shampoo, and baby toiletries[1][2].

Operations

Donations are collected weekly and taken to a sorting hub, where they are allocated according to the specific needs of community partners. These partners work directly with families and children, ensuring that the aid reaches those who require it most. Financial donations are used to purchase fresh produce, eggs, dairy products, and other essentials that cannot be stored at room temperature, such as halal chicken for certain partners[1][2].

Special Requests and Restrictions

FAMILY FOOD ACTION focuses on meat-free donations, given that many recipients are vegetarian or do not consume meat. The charity does not accept donations of baby formula, alcohol, or damaged goods, following guidelines that prioritize safety and appropriateness for recipients[2].

Structure and Impact

As of the latest available data, FAMILY FOOD ACTION has a team of 70 volunteers and five trustees, none of whom receive compensation. The charity relies on volunteers to manage the sorting and distribution processes[3].

Financial Performance

In the financial year ending March 1, 2024, the charity reported a total income of £74,897 and a total expenditure of £74,626, indicating efficient management of resources towards its objectives[3].

Community Partnerships

FAMILY FOOD ACTION collaborates with local organizations to ensure that donations are distributed effectively, supporting not only the provision of meals but also community programs that provide additional support to families[1][2].
