PoitiersCare (Food Delivery Project)

About this , opportunity

Poitiers Care

Poitiers Care is a Registered Charity (No 1141270) that delivers food to people living in the Southampton area who would otherwise go hungry.

We work closely with Social Services and other agencies and charities who are able to assess the needs of potential clients.  They refer them to us for short-term help.   Our clients include women trying to escape prostitution, parents with learning and management difficulties, families in chronic debt, people with health problems, and many, many others.  If they are hungry, we will deliver food bags to them.  It’s as simple as that. 

Poitiers Care is based in Ashurst and is staffed by volunteers who carry out a range of activities, including managing information, receiving and storing food, collating bags of food, delivering food bags, and fundraising.  We welcome volunteers who can offer one or two hours per week, and those who can offer more time as well.  Drivers use their own cars.  No previous experience is necessary, but a willingness to work in a team is essential.

Poitiers Care is a Catholic organization and as such will support any person or family in need.

Organizations wishing to refer people to us for help should email us at poitierscare@gmail.com requesting a referral form.  We accept referrals from charities, local authority and central government agencies, health professionals, schools, churches and  other caring agencies.
