The Maiden Lane Food Bank was established over a decade ago to support local people in need. It is a member of the Camden Food Network and Camden Food Poverty Alliance providing food provisions to all Camden residents. We work in partnership with Sainsburys, Morrisons and Felix Project.
Our objective is to protect the most vulnerable from hunger and enable food insecure families to achieve their nutritional and health goals with dignity. By providing emergency food relief with wraparound support services, we aim to build the resilience of our communities in need.
We treat all Camden residents with dignity and respect and we believe people know what they and their family's needs are. We therefore prioritise this need by always asking residents what sort of supplies they need from us, and then tailor the food parcels to meet their dietary needs. To achieve this we ensure that have a variety of culturally and nutritionally appropriate food supplies held at the foodbank.
Through outreach we identify those that are socially isolated and most vulnerable in the community. In addition we receive referrals from: Camden Council, social services, family support workers, schools, children centres, doctors’ surgeries, NHS support workers, CAB, Mind in Camden and community/faith groups who identify local people in need.
