Rye Food Bank plays a crucial role in supporting vulnerable individuals, delivering food to up to 100 people weekly in Rye and surrounding villages. Staffed entirely by dedicated volunteers, the charity ensures that those facing hardship have access to essential resources as well as legal and social support.
Bob Harper, Manager at Rye Food Bank, emphasises the importance of local involvement:
“The Food Bank in Rye is a community-driven response to the challenges many face. We’re incredibly grateful for the selfless donations from residents and partnerships with local businesses like The Ship. Initiatives like this extend the network of community support, ensuring we can continue our vital work.”
Harper continues:
“The idea of inviting diners to contribute directly through their meal is fantastic. It helps us provide immediate relief to those in need while strengthening ties between residents and businesses. The volunteers at Rye Food Bank are excited to promote this partnership and The Ship Inn as a cornerstone of our community.”
