From our donors

“As someone who mainly buys food online, I rarely donated to a food bank. Bankuet has changed all this: I can now donate exactly what the food bank needs at the click of a button — on the school run, waiting for gymnastics to finish or relaxing with a box set in the evening. It is so easy, I love it!”
— Stephanie

As someone with reduced mobility, I would not be able to buy food on a regular basis and carry it to my local donation point. Using Bankuet has helped me to support my local foodbank without worry. Buying a bundle on bankuet means that I know I am donating exactly what my local food bank is in need of right now and saves me from worrying about delivery.”

From people who have used food banks

(quotes from our friends at Wandsworth food bank)

“The people at the foodbank were wonderful, they understood and saved us.” 

- Holly

“Without the foodbank, I don’t think I would be here today.”

- Richard

“Until it happens to you, you don’t realise how bad life can be. I had to stop work. It was devastating, because the funds I’d put to one side, they were soon gone. I even sold my tools just to make ends meet.  I was being threatened that I was going to lose my place. My world was just coming round my ears."

- Matthew

I feel a bit awkward coming here but everyone’s been very nice, very friendly, very kind.  All the volunteers giving up their free time to help other people – it’s nice to see there’s nice people about.’

- Bill

“We partnered with Bankuet to run a digital food drive for our local food bank.  We found it to be a great way of engaging with pupils, parents and staff. It was very easy to set up and was a quick, effective way of generating donations for the food bank.”
— Mrs Harris, Assistant Headteacher at Christ the Saviour School, London

“The parents that used Bankuet found it very easy to use. I think in the future it could be very helpful to food banks, especially as they can restrict the type and amount of goods that they require.”
— Jane Mines, School Administrator at Alleyn’s Junior School, London

“Our business has run food drives in the past but never at our London office, and we wanted that to change. It wasn’t for a lack of wanting to give, but it was simply difficult for people to lug in the items the banks really needed on public transport to the office. Luckily, we discovered Bankuet and they made the process so easy and simple to set up. We ended up smashing our donation goal and would definitely work with Bankuet to run food drives for London’s food banks again.”
Katy Eveland, Marketing Manager at Argus Media, London
