FOOD PARCELS

Food Parcels provides meals and rations to the needy in the UK. The nature of support currently envisaged include: 1) provision of hot meals to the homeless, 2) provision of weekly food rations to families unable to feed themselves. The Organisation operates entirely with the support of volunteers. A register of volunteers is maintained, which allocates responsibility of operational tasks to individuals. These activities relate to procurement of good and services, as well as the distribution of meals and rations within the community. Ingredients, food supplies, and meal preparation services are purchased from the donations Food Parcels receives. There a fixed purchase list of items to be purchased every week, and standard distribution instructions for volunteers to follow. This operating model is simple in nature, and has been in use since July 2013, proving to be an effective use of volunteer’s time, as well as Food Parcels resources.
