Food Poverty & Cost of Living Support
Nourishing Lives with Dignity, One Home at a Time
No one should have to choose between heating their home and feeding their family yet that’s the heartbreaking reality for thousands across the UK. At JustPenny, we’re committed to easing the burden of food poverty and financial hardship in a way that protects privacy, preserves dignity, and restores hope.
🏡 What We Offer: Discreet and Compassionate Support
We understand that asking for help is never easy. That’s why our approach is non-judgmental, respectful, and tailored to each individual’s circumstances.
🥫 Local Food Collection: Community Giving, Community Impact
In addition to our national home delivery programme, JustPenny proudly runs a Local Food Collection Service, working with generous individuals, schools, businesses, and faith groups in nearby communities. We collect non-perishable food items, toiletries, and household essentials, which are then carefully sorted and distributed to families in urgent need. Every one can, box, or donated pack makes a tangible difference and show how local Manchester compassion can empower national change. If you’d like to host a collection point or donate items, we’d love to hear from you.
