Fund our Food Banks - Adur & Worthing

Aim

Fund our Food Banks - raising funds to feed people in Adur and Worthing

Adur and Worthing food banks support over 3,000 people, including children, every month. Our food banks report that the current demand for help is unprecedented. With the Cost of Living increase, food banks also report seeing more families who have never required help before.

Your donation will make a difference 

No one should be cold or hungry this Winter. ‘Fund our Food Banks’ is asking for your donation to ensure our local food banks have the funds in place during this time of increased pressure. Every penny you give will go straight to the food banks who support the most vulnerable in our area. 

• Food banks provide food supplies, hot food, clothing, fuel vouchers, and access to specialist services, such as Citizens Advice, to provide a holistic approach to supporting people in crisis.  
• Recent research shows that as many as 1 in 6 people will need to use a food bank over Christmas.*

Foodbanks your donation will support 

Our local food banks are supported by the Adur and Worthing Food Network and those that need your support right now are:  

Worthing Soup Kitchen which supports emergency food and engagement with the homeless and vulnerable community in Worthing. 

Worthing Food Foundation is a non-referral food operation that supplies dry, tinned and fresh food, as well as other essentials, to people in need. WFF has as many as 500 people through its doors every week. 

Worthing Vegan Foodbank supports people in the short-term and long-term with food, personal hygiene items and emergency food parcels. Its products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free.  

Broadwater Support Group provides food, clothes and support to those who need it most, including furniture, emergency food supplies and uniforms. 

Lancing and Sompting Foodbank shares food given by the community to those who need it most.

This appeal could not have got off the ground without the incredible commitment from our founding funders and local chefs and restauranteurs: 

Andy Sparsis  - Entrepreneur and owner of the Proto Restaurant Group, including The Fat Greek Taverna and The Fish Factory

Alex Coombes - Entrepreneur and owner of Perch on the Pier and Lancing Beach Perch

Kenny Tutt - MasterChef winner and owner of Bayside Social and Pitch 

Through their restaurants this Christmas, customers will be given the opportunity to donate, raising much needed funds this year. If you are a local business and wish to support this project, please pledge on the crowdfunder or email us at [email protected]

Working in Partnership

So this appeal can have the furthest reach, we are working in partnership with Adur and Worthing Councils, Community Works and Rocket Social Media. By working together, we hope to strengthen the message and raise the profile of the incredible work the food network is doing in our area.
