How Vouchers Are Distributed:
Our vouchers are distributed through a network of trusted referral partners, including food banks and community organisations. These partners identify individuals and families in need and provide them with our vouchers. This ensures that the vouchers reach those who need them most, offering a dignified and efficient way to access food and daily living items from participating local businesses.
Referral partners use their existing referral processes to identify individuals and families in need. These processes are designed to ensure that support is given to those who need it most, based on criteria such as financial hardship and food insecurity. Once identified, these individuals are provided with our vouchers.
