The Gospel Centre Food Bank operates from the church building. Our mission is to support the most needy within our community with help to combat food poverty. We aim to share the love of Christ through our work. 
"If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth."
- 1 John 3:17-18

who are we?


The Gospel Centre Food Bank began in 2011 and was a part of Haringey Food Bank until 2019. The Food Bank now runs independently within the auspices of the church; with volunteers from the Church as well as from the local community. During COVID-19 we have had to expand to meet a fivefold increase in demand per month. This has meant that we have had to move our serving area to the front of 'Transform House', to make use of additional storage and bagging areas. The Food Bank is indebted to many local partners, and is an active part of the Haringey Food Network, as well as a member of the Independent Food Aid Network.​

what do we do?

The Food Bank provides mainly non-perishable food to people in need, who present themselves to us when our sessions run. Alternatively, people can also be referred to us by third-parties. In addition, we provide; toiletries, baby provisions, cleaning materials and some fresh vegetables and fruit, when it has been donated by our partners. The amount of food given will depend on the number of people in the visitor's household. Whilst we do not ask for proof, we may request it of larger groups. We have just received a grant from Tesco Bags of Help to assist families with children with nutritious food.
