As an environmental project which collects food surplus and donations from restaurants, supermarkets, distributors and farmers, we need easy drop off and storage of produce. Our hub at an unused church in The Headlands is rented from the URC, an organisation we worked with during the pandemic. 7 days a week, with 3 public openings we are located here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Headlands,+The+Forum+Group+URC+Church/@52.2595101,-0.8527558,17z/data=!4m15!1m8!3m7!1s0x48770942f88e3fd7:0xfd145e1daa1be207!2sThe+Headlands,+Northampton+NN3+2NU!3b1!8m2!3d52.2599775!4d-0.8531486!16s%2Fg%2F1vj5zq4z!3m5!1s0x487709414f8c407f:0xb874c969786978a8!8m2!3d52.2600549!4d-0.8537879!16s%2Fg%2F1ttpgd9b?entry=ttu

Our community shop prevents food waste and helps customer budgets.
Around 800 households a month access the produce, ambient and chilled food. It is open 6 hours/3 days a week, run largely by a community of volunteers.
We help vulnerable people facing hardship, health challenges and financial pressure: “The parcels of food and toiletries make the difference between hungry or full tummies and dirty or clean families.” Strengthening Families Practitioner at NCT
We value the contribution our volunteers make in the hub. Can you join them in helping on shifts, collections or fundraising ?
