Anglesey Food Bank provides essential support to people across Ynys Môn facing financial hardship and food insecurity. Each week, we deliver emergency food to individuals and families who cannot reach us due to isolation, poor transport links or mobility issues. To do this, we rely on a delivery van. Our current vehicle is no longer reliable, and without a replacement we risk being unable to reach some of the most vulnerable people in our community. As a rural island, many areas are difficult to access, making a dependable van essential to our work. We are raising funds to purchase a new van so we can continue delivering food, collecting donations and supporting people with dignity. As part of this campaign, we are inviting the community to help “Name the Van” — bringing people together to support a vital service.

What we'll deliver:

  • a new delivery van

Why it's a great idea:

A new delivery van will ensure we can continue reaching people across Anglesey who are unable to access our foodbank in person. For many, particularly those in rural or isolated areas, delivery is the only way they can receive support. The van will enable us to deliver emergency food reliably, collect donations from local supermarkets, and transport supplies efficiently across the island. This will reduce missed deliveries, improve volunteer safety, and allow us to respond more quickly to people in crisis. It will also help us maintain dignity for those we support, providing a discreet and dependable service. Beyond practical benefits, this project brings the community together. Through our “Name the Van” campaign, local people, families and schools can play a part in supporting their neighbours and strengthening community connection.

Steps to get it done:

  • Launch fundraising campaign “Name the Van” initiative, engaging local residents, schools and partners to raise funds.
  • Reach fundraising target of £5000 through public donations, local support and potential match funding.
  • Obtain final quotes and purchase a suitable new delivery van that meets our operational needs.
  • Register, insure and prepare the vehicle for service, ensuring it is ready for safe and reliable deliveries.
  • Introduce the new van into service and continue delivering food across Anglesey, including announcing the winning name.
