Schools

Schools in the area are invited to become voucher holders and make referrals to Southend Foodbank. If your school is not currently offering foodbank referrals and you’d like to start, please email vouchers@southend.foodbank.org.uk

We also invite local schools to run a Harvest collection for Southend Foodbank. Each year we offer materials for a Harvest collection, such as challenge sheets or photo boards, as well as offering to come to your school to deliver an assembly. We can also arrange for Harvest donations to be picked up from your school. In 2021, the foodbank’s Let’s Make a Meal harvest campaign collected 7000 meals and made a splash in the local paper. We also can also provide materials for alternative activities, including other seasonal collections and non-uniform days. To get involved, email admin@southend.foodbank.org.uk
