East London food redistribution warehouse opens in Barking

The hub is a partnership between Barking and Dagenham Council, The Kindness Offensive, Food for All, Felix, City Harvest and Kingsley Hall.

Felix, a food redistribution charity, collects surplus food from shops and other providers so that it is not thrown away or incinerated.

It is given to local organisations, food banks, soup kitchens and schools, said David Goodfellow, one of the managers at Big Heart and a founder of The Kindness Offensive.

“They are the ones who are on the front line and they don’t have the resources to be able to feed all the people that are coming to their doors,” he said.

“We are a stepping stone, a middle ground between some of the big suppliers and some of the community-facing groups, to give them the supplies that they need.

“There’s a lot of people who are hungry.”
