Food resources and information
Cambridge Sustainable Food works to ensure people have access to food. We do this by:
ensuring up to date signposting and information about emergency food services in the city.
supporting community food hubs around the city where people at risk of food poverty can access food for free.
making sure meals are delivered to those that need them including holiday lunch and holiday hunger provision.
Facilitating and administrating the Cambridge Food Poverty Alliance
We are accepting food donations from local businesses and growers to support the community food hubs. Some allotments in the city are growing extra this year to help with supporting the hubs. If you know an organisation with surplus food to spare, or you can encourage your local allotments to grow extra, please refer them to this form or ask them to contact us directly to donate.
And last but not least, if you have any ideas about food and resilience in your communities, or opportunities for the future, we would love to hear them!
Please consider donating so we can ensure that food gets to people who are in need
Food insecurity is affecting the lives and health of residents in Cambridge more than ever before. This short film tells the story of some of these people and the organisations that are working hard to help them. Film made by Cambridge Sustainable Food and Cambridge City Council
