Food Donation Box

Posted on 11/05/22

In the giving spirit of Ramadhan, earlier in April, we set up a food collection to support a local food bank. We have placed a box at the DGHE reception to collect food donations from anyone who would like to contribute. The box will be available until the 13th of May.

Any donations will be given to the Bow Foodbank charity organisation. Bow Foodbank is a local Tower Hamlets charity that operates two food banks, one in Bow and the other in Bethnal Green. They provide emergency food supplies to those in crisis due to financial difficulties.
