Working with people in crisis | ||

We are working to restore dignity and revive hope, seeking to combat hidden hunger in Harlow by supporting local people in crisis. MRCT officially opened the Harlow foodbank on Monday 20th April 2009 and works in partnership with churches, schools, businesses and front-line professional care agencies to provide this valuable community resource.
What is foodbank? The foodbank is a ground-breaking concept designed to help individuals and families in crisis by providing free emergency food until the appropriate agencies are in a position to assist. Our aim is to engage with communities, introducing sustainable projects that enable marginalised people to break through their cycle of poverty. Tinned and dried food is collected from the public at supermarkets, churches, schools and other local groups and "banked" in a warehouse. Food is then given to people in crisis as a result of referrals from registered care professionals such as Social Services, Health Visitors, and other carers working in the front line.
