Thursday is a busy day for Lincoln Foodbank. The Foodbank drivers are collecting donations from different locations across the city, they are also delivering Food parcels to our Distribution Centres. We have many Distribution Centres open giving out food parcels. Dial-a-Ride are out in the afternoons delivering food parcels to those isolating and it’s also a busy day at the Warehouse for the Thursday Warehouse Team.
