NORWICH FOOD BANK

The principle activity will be the collection of non perishable food by public donation at supermarkets, from churches and elsewhere eg. schools and harvest festivals. the produce will be distributed as emergency parcels sufficient for an individual or family to cover a period of three days. Nobody in need will be turned away. We plan to imitate the model created by the Trussell Trust.
