Hornsey Covid-19 Mutual Aid Groups
Anna Wise is raising money for Hornsey Parochial Charities
Story
This year the Crouch End Chavurah has chosen to focus our giving even more locally than ever by supporting the Hornsey Food Bank.
The Hornsey Food Bank is based in the Methodist Church on Lightfoot Road.
Hornsey Food bank was set up at the start of the pandemic, when community leaders in Haringey met to discuss what was most needed to support families and people living alone in the area - the simple answer was food.
Most of us know that food poverty has been a worsening issue in society over the last few years. The pandemic exacerbated this and locally in Haringey this there has been a huge increase in the number of people struggling to put food on the table.
Unlike other food banks, Hornsey Food Bank does not set any criteria of who can come - it is open to all, no registrations and no questions. As well as food, people also donate personal hygiene products, sanitary towels and things like drawing materials for kids.
In addition to donations, you can also contact Hornsey Food Bank if you would like to help out in other ways by giving our time as a volunteer.
