3Food4U are conscious that it can be embarrassing and awkward asking for support for food and clothing, especially when you have been self-sufficient all your life. That's why we don’t ask for an assessment or referral and are non-judgemental. If you're brave enough to ask for help we give it, we trust people.The whole process is very natural, just like going shopping. We are not labelling this as a foodbank, but a community surplus hub, as much of what we are offering would be sent to landfill.

We offer support every day including bank holidays and Christamas offering food, clothing and essentials at Hubs in Waltham Abbey, Loughton, Chigwell Row, Ongar, Walthamstow, Tottenham, and Bruce Grove. People are actively encouraged to use the service for as long as they need support.

In addition we have a holistic approach to health and wellbeing and offer additional support including job club, numeracy training, food education classes, counselling/coaching, health & wellbeing support , a soup kitchen offering hot meals and a safe warm place for the homeless. All run by volunteers. Our ethos is to treat and support people humanely with dignity and respect.
