New App Makes Donating to Food Banks a Doddle!
BanktheFood App Targets Food Waste and Boosts Donations
BanktheFood is urging shoppers to download its clever new app that shows exactly what local food banks need — right when you arrive at the supermarket. Just open the app, see the urgent items, pop one in your trolley, and drop it off at a nearby donation centre. Simple!
Over 2,000 Food Banks Desperately Need Smarter Giving
The UK has more than 2,000 food banks, but they struggle to get their messages out. Old-school notice boards and random social media posts quickly go out of date and miss tons of potential donors. BanktheFood fixes this by sending up-to-the-minute shopping lists straight to you, helping food banks get the right supplies at the right time — slashing waste and storage headaches.
Joe Lycett Backs the Campaign
“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: “More Than Just Baked Beans”
Emma Spring, CEO of BanktheFood, adds, “We are incredibly grateful to Joe for supporting us and narrating our new mission film. Food banks are in desperate need of donations, but often get swamped with the same items. Our app ensures food banks get a balanced mix of what they truly need — not just baked beans. We hope as many people as possible download and use it.”
