New App Revolutionises Food Bank Donations in the UK
BanktheFood is asking shoppers to download their clever new app. It sends a list of urgently needed items from local food banks as soon as you walk into the supermarket. You simply add an item to your trolley and drop it off at a nearby donation centre.
Cutting Through Confusion at the Supermarket Aisle
With over 2,000 food banks across the UK, many still rely on outdated notice boards and random social media posts to share what they need. These often go ignored or become out-of-date fast, missing out on generous donors ready to help.
BanktheFood solves this by giving real-time updates on exactly what food banks require the moment you enter the supermarket. This smart approach slashes waste and cuts costs on storage.
Joe Lycett Backs the Brilliant New Idea
“I was shocked to hear how many food banks there are in the UK and how much pressure they are under,” says comedian Joe Lycett. “Like many of us, I try to help but often feel like I’m winging it in the supermarket. BanktheFood is a truly brilliant idea that will hopefully assist thousands of food banks in the UK in receiving the supplies they require when they require them. I’m honoured to stand by them.”
BanktheFood CEO Praises Growing Support
“We are incredibly grateful to Joe for supporting us and narrating our new mission film,” says Emma Spring, CEO of BanktheFood. “Food banks desperately need donations, but donors often give the same items repeatedly. BanktheFood ensures food banks get exactly what they need, when they need it. This means donations are not just baked beans. We hope as many people as possible download the app and get involved.”
