MISSION STATEMENT
0800 HUNGRY MINISTRIES TRUST is a non-denominational, non-profit Christian Charitable Trust established to empower churches of all denominations to reach out to those in our community who need a helping hand.
OBJECTIVES OF THE MINISTRY
The primary role of 0800 Hungry is one of 'hunter and gatherer'. We are totally committed to locating and recovering all manner of food and grocery items. 0800 Hungry can arrange to pick up anything from anywhere at anytime. We operate from an 18,000 sq ft warehouse, with a dedicated group of volunteers, to distribute recovered produce back to the community.
We have aligned our name with our Free Phone number, 0800 HUNGRY (0800 486 479).
The purpose of the free call line is to encourage people who through fear, embarrassment, sense of failure or pride, fail to seek help when things go wrong. The 0800 number allows them to seek initial help with anonymity.
It is our desire to remove the stigma that food banks are where poor people go for handouts.
