Streets Food Project

In these challenging times we wanted everyone to know that a friendly neighbour is around! Whether it’s help with a food parcel or a reassuring chat, we are here and will do out best to help.

Streets Food Project is a weekly food bank operating out of the community hall at the O2 Centre on Finchley Road. We are open from 10am to 12.30pm every Wednesday. We also deliver to the elderly, disabled, vulnerable and refugees living in and around the O2 Centre area. Read on below to find out how you can get help.

The Streets Story

Streets began life as a community coffee shop - a cosy, homely place on Finchley Road with good coffee and friendly faces. It was intended as a space for us to engage with and support local residents and passersby. However, the difficulties of sustaining the coffee shop during the pandemic were significant and we had to close our doors for good. However, the spirit of Streets did not fade. Blessing the community is less about coffee (no matter how good it is) and more about responding to the immediate needs of those around us. We transformed Streets into an initiative to help those that were struggling during the lockdown. We had food, resources and volunteers and it was barely a moment before Streets Food Project was in full swing.

Over the past few years we have helped hundreds of people. The influx of Ukrainian families presented us with new opportunities to help and we continue to work hard for the sake of those that need a bit of extra support. 

Do you need help?

We all go through difficult times and we would love to lend a hand if you find yourself needing a little extra. If a food parcel would help or if you would just like to sit and chat with someone, please feel free to come along to Streets Food Project. You can find us at the O2 Centre on Finchley Road between 10am and 12.30pm every Wednesday. We meet upstairs (cinema level) in the community hall (follow the passage that leads past the toilets). You do not need an appointment or a referral, just come along.
