Clothes Bank Facilitator

6 February 202521 February 2025

Do you want to make a difference by helping give clothes a second life?

At our Foodbank and Family Hub we have rails of beautiful, donated clothing on display for people to browse. We give away these clothes to those that need them the most, but we also offer them at a subsidised rate to those that can afford it so that any money made can go straight back into our charity. We need people who can sort through donations, rotate the stock on the rails and keep a record of the clothes given away.

Want to help fight food waste and support local families?

Stock Rotation Support

4 February 202521 February 2025

Do you feel passionate about contributing to your local community?

We receive lots of donations each week from the generous public, as well as our partnership with Irons for Foodbanks, Community Food Enterprise, Felix Project and Newham Food Alliance. We need to ensure we are rotating all our stock each week so that these precious donations are not wasted! This involves stamping dates on the food and moving stock from the back to the front of our pantry/fridges/freezers and replenishing our shelves with newly delivered items.
