Project Description
Everyone should have access to food, whether you are single, part of a family, homeless, or waiting for your benefits. If you are struggling to afford food, there are lots of places where you can get food for free. There are food hubs and fridges, where everyone can turn up and collect food items. There are other food banks where you need a voucher to collect food. Centre 33 can provide you with a food bank voucher if you don’t have enough money to buy food. This voucher will offer you a minimum of 3 days access to food from your local food bank centre. Contact us to find out more.
To find out which food banks, hubs and fridges are open on which day, visit Cambridge Sustainable Food.
