Mini food banks - hand made can donation banks
Donación protegida
I’m making mini donation boxes for Pl84u Al Suffa foodbank in wood st.
Designed to look like miniature highly detailed East London style stores complete with lights, to be placed on a selection of fences in Waltham Forest.
The Artist Sean Rodrigo has previously decorated a Tiny Street Library in Walthamstow as a hand painted Edwardian home, and also completed a community project called The Mini Morris Project connecting the children of E17 with 500 free paintable hand-cast plaster sculpture kits of William Morris.
The boxes will serve as a donation point for canned food, where members can donate or talk cans from the box when they need it, and also for the food bank charity to pickup when the boxes are full.
Food banks are currently very busy as people are being hit hard by work instability caused by COVID 19. PL84U Al Suffa Food bank’s mission is to Serve the community of the Elderly, Homeless and those ‘In need’ people of faith and non-faith groups who are living in conditions of social-economic, cultural deprivation and isolation. Providing a free meal and friendly environment for the elderly people in need & homeless in east London. They offer weekly fresh quality foodbank sessions for shopping for families and individuals.
For more information or to donate directly please visit www.pl84u-alsuffa.org
We hope these boxes give people an approachable way to get food without the stigma of visiting a food bank and also as a way to enrich the streets with a beautiful new mini landmark.
The intention is to cover the cost of building the boxes, paint, lights, tools and 3D printing material for 7 boxes
UPDATE - We are extending the project to add functionality to the boxes to allow the charity to be notified when the boxes are full and ready for pickup.
