We support 56 community groups, partnerships and Foodshares. Our community partners include The Shrewsbury Ark, Shropshire Mind, Severn Hospice, schools, youth clubs, Age U day centre and community Foodshare tables where everyone is welcome to collect a few bags of food on a 'Pay as You Feel' basis to hep stop food waste. 

In all, our food reaches 3,300+ people a week.
