Community Action Award 2015

Main Award – Group – Storehouse Volunteers

[who volunteer at Black Country Foodbank’s ‘Storehouse’ in Brierley Hill]

Here’s Kelvin Bates and Robert Anderson from the Storehouse Volunteer Team proudly receiving their award.

“This team of dedicated volunteers ensures the distribution of much needed food to people in crisis across the Black Country. Our family of volunteers do every task from collection, dating and moving tons of food, to answering the phone and administration.

Last year they sorted and delivered more than 100 tonnes of food, which helped to provide food to over 23,000 people over the year.

Some of our volunteers have learning difficulties and/or are vulnerable adults, but they still choose to contribute, in sometimes cold conditions, by doing both physically demanding and laborious tasks in a tireless way. Black Country Food Bank would not exist without them!”
