What does Feed My City do?
- Emergency food: We provide emergency food to individuals/families in need in Manchester, Salford, Trafford, and other areas of Greater Manchester. People can call us (9 am to 9 pm, 365 days a year) or place an online request, and then pick up hot meals, dry food bags, fruit, and bread. In emergencies, we can also deliver to people who can’t get to us because of health conditions or limited transport options.
- Van Operation: Several times a week, we take our Feed My City van to a number of different boroughs in Greater Manchester in locations that are in some of the most deprived areas the country. There we serve hot meals, tea, coffee, and, on occasion, fruit and snacks. Anyone can show up and receive food; there’s no need to book. We currently do this in the boroughs of Manchester, Salford, Trafford, Tameside, Bolton, and Rochdale.
- Working with Partner Organisations: We provide food to partner organisations who help those in the local community in Greater Manchester.
- Advice and Support: We provide advice and support to help the most vulnerable individuals cope with challenges. This includes guidance on finance, safety, health, education, and employment.
All of our food provisions are free.
Why do we do it?
We believe everyone has a right to basic food — regardless of who they are, where they have come from, or whether they have money.
Our founders have lived experience of food poverty and are deeply committed to supporting otheerss facing similar challenges.
Some of our volunteers have also experienced food poverty and financial hardship, and their lived experience fuels a shared desire to give back an make a meaningful diffference.
We believe that no one should have to face poverty or hunger in our rich nation. That’s why we serve our clients without asking unnecessary or intrusive questions.
