Summary
Carriers of Hope have teamed up with St. Marks Church and Youth With A Mission (YWAM) to establish the World Foods Food Hub. Weekly on Wednesdays.Detailed description
Operating weekly on Wednesdays, our aim is to provide culturally relevant food to members and their families. For just £5, eligible individuals (Refugees, Migrants, or Asylum Seekers residing in Coventry who need assistance with food costs) can select a basket of groceries with a retail value of approximately £30. The groceries include Halal meat, fresh bread, and a variety of fruits and vegetables, with selections changing weekly based on availability.
We offer different levels of membership and regularly review our members to ensure we meet the needs of more clients. As people become more financially independent, we continue to support them with budgeting classes focused on shopping and cooking, ensuring families can maintain a healthy and balanced diet.
Join us at the event or lend a hand in preparation; creating a social supermarket every week requires many helping hands. From setting up to welcoming our clients, distributing food, and providing guidance and support, there are numerous ways you can ensure that no one faces food poverty alone
What we will provide to volunteers
💸 Reimbursement of costsAbout Carriers of Hope
We offer practical support to our clients by supplying vital necessities, ranging from food and nappies to pushchairs, toys, books, kitchenware and furniture. We repurpose high-quality donations from our local community, ensuring that individuals have access to everything they need to build their new lives in Coventry and reduce waste in our city too.
We foster a welcoming community for newcomers to the city, ensuring that no one faces the challenges of adjusting to a new place, language, and culture alone. By volunteering with us, our clients gain valuable opportunities to improve their English, develop new skills, deepen their understanding of their adopted home, and increase their chances of employment.
We work with partner organisations and agencies across the city to ensure our isolated clients can access all of the services available to ensure a happy and healthy future, from helping an individual understand the NHS App and make vital medical appointments, to linking them with legal experts and employment services, to enrolling them on budgeting courses, our aim is to ensure that everyone is empowered to live a positive, independent life.
Our work is made possible by the support and dedication of our diverse volunteer team, which includes local people, current and former clients, students, corporate teams, community groups, and professionals.
Whoever you are, we believe you can bring something truly special and important to Carriers of Hope. We offer both regular and one-off volunteering opportunities across all projects, providing full training, chances to improve your English or enhance your skills, and, most importantly, an opportunity to join a vibrant and welcoming community.
