Set up a food collection point on your street (Food Champions)

Collecting food from your neighbours and bringing it to a food bank will make a huge difference to the lives of people who are struggling financially.

If you're interested in becoming a Food Champion and collecting food donations for the community, local food banks can help you set up a food collection point on your street.

There are 2 schemes available in Buckinghamshire:

Food Champions
Street Heroes (One Can Trust)

As a Food Champion or Street Hero you will be responsible for:

coordinating the monthly collection of food from your neighbours
taking the collected food to your local food bank
raising awareness to increase donations where possible

Setting up a food collection point

Some food banks are already part of the Food Champion scheme.

Contact your nearest participating food bank to set up a food collection point on your street:

If your area is not covered by an existing Food Champion scheme, you can set up a scheme for your community by emailing [email protected]

What you can donate

Local food banks can accept tinned and dried food including:

pasta
rice
sauces
milk
puddings
tinned fruit
tinned meats
anything long-life

Check with your local food bank for more information on what they can accept.
