Harlow Food Bank

We’re proud to be associated and working with Harlow Foodbank which is a charity founded by local churches and community groups aiming to stop hunger in their local areas. Specifically, they, ‘don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.’ 

Due to the difficulty and uncertainty many families have faced during the COVID period, the demand for their service has grown exponentially. As a result, they needed to add an extra floor of storage in their warehouse to keep more food and supplies for those in need.

We were made aware of this issue and a few weeks later and with a delivery of steel beams, they have been able to improve the efficiency of their work by adding a whole other platform of storage!  This has allowed them to open a new ‘Baby Bank’ project from the storehouse, distributing essential goods to children in town.

The Chief Executive Officer Andy Thornton said, ‘Lawson’s have been our bedrock for these operations, and I just want to thank you again so much for all you have done and continue to do.’

We continue to work with the charity and hope that we can be involved in future products that help those in need.
