GCK no longer has a food aid collection service.

We will still work with our partners City Harvest to  deliver food aid support on Fridays to those who are seeking asylum and/or have No Access to Public Funds, to those who are housebound due to chronic illness and to those fleeing domestic violence  on a referral basis only in Postcodes W9, W10, W11, NW2, NW6, NW8, and NW10.

If you think you are in one of these categories and need to receive food aid please fill in the form here.

 

The Good Food Box

We offer a fresh and local weekly veg box scheme called the Good Food Box,  a lower cost option for getting locally grown and tasty fruit and veg. 

What you get: 

The bags come in different sizes (small, standard and family) with vegetable options appropriate to your culture, currently either Northern European or African Caribbean and an optional fruit addition bag. In a small bag for example you get 6 different types of veg which can range from leeks to c salad changing according to the season.

Cost and Paying:

The small bag starts at £3.10 per week.

You can pay with cash, and we also accept Healthy Start Vouchers. 

You can sign up for a bag every fortnight or every week. We pack the bags at the Granville every Wednesday morning and  offer a workshare system where you can volunteer with us on the pack in exchange for your bag.

We will continue to support the community:

By building a healthy food system, creating jobs with living wages, and providing health and well being activities we are building a more connected and stronger South Kilburn community: We are doing this now through the weekly Good Food Box solidarity fruit and veg box, community meals, community food growing spaces, exercise classes, and education

By fighting for real food justice: We are doing this now campaigning for a Brent food strategy and the right to food here in Brent and nationally.

By campaigning for cash first solutions to end poverty: We are doing this now by supporting you to access support to help you ensure you have enough money to live on.

We do hope you continue to be a part of GCK and thank you for your trust in us and believing in our vision and work.
