Coronavirus Care Greater Manchester

HUMANSMCR need your help!

We are receiving an increasing number of requests for our emergency food parcel service, much more than we ever imagined; we are feeding up to 100 people a day some days and the need is growing.

We have an incredible team of volunteers with the capacity to cover all of Greater Manchester so we can try to make sure that nobody is left behind wherever they live.

We desperately want to continue to meet the needs of the most vulnerable people across the County during this crisis, but to do that, we need to raise some much needed funds.

Every penny we raise goes directly towards providing emergency food to those who need it most.

Every donation, like, retweet and share can help us to reach out to people who need us!

We have increased our service to include the following things:

-          Food parcel service. This is by far the most popular option for many people. We are receiving referrals from trusted professionals now (though we always have been, and always will be based on trust alone). These are completely free to our clients and include basic essentials and any fresh produce we get donated that day.

-          Shopping service or prescription collection. This service is for anyone who can’t get out but requires specific items purchasing from the supermarket. We only ever charge for the items on the receipt.

-          Dog walking service for anyone who can’t get out

-          Friendship check-in by phone.

WHAT WE USE THE MONEY ON

Primarily, buying food. The food parcels are the only service that we rely on donations for, but the last two weeks have shown it’s the most needed. Stock is limited in a lot of places so we are trying our best to work with supermarkets to keep our stocks up. We always make the money we have stretch as far as possible and shop around. We would also like to pay our volunteer expenses – many of them are driving for us daily and we would love to be able to reimburse them.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

A donation would mean so much to us and help us keep providing much needed essentials to the most vulnerable members of our communities across Greater Manchester.

Thank you,

Rachel and Lewey (and all of Team HUMANS!)
