Tower Hamlets Food Stores
The council has set up a number of FOOD Stores in the borough that are there to support people who cannot afford enough food for themselves or their families. These are places you can go to pick up £25 - £35 worth of food in exchange for a £3.50 membership fee. At the same time, you will be supported in other areas that you might need help with.
This includes help with issues around:
- housing
- benefits access
- employment
- and more.
To find out more or to become a member email thefoodstore@towerhamlets.gov.uk with your name, address, postcode, date of birth and contact number.
