Where Community Food Projects Get Stuck

Supply From Everywhere, Tracked Nowhere

Stock from redistribution partners, local businesses, school collections and public donations — none of it in the same place.

Volunteers Scheduled, Disconnected From the Work

A rota tells you who's coming, not what they're packing or what's left on the shelf.

Reporting That Doesn't Match Your Structure

CICs and informal groups don't fit reporting tools built around registered charity structures.

Too Small for Enterprise, Too Busy for Spreadsheets

Stuck between software built for large charities and a spreadsheet that's stopped coping.

Supply and Distribution, in the Same System

Built Around How Community Food Projects Actually Work

Supply and Distribution, in the Same System

Most community food projects don't just receive one kind of donation. Stock might come from surplus food redistribution partners, direct donations from local businesses, school or church collections, or your own fundraising. FoodBank360 tracks where your stock actually came from, alongside what you distribute, so supply and distribution sit in one system instead of two.

If You Supply Other Groups, Not Just Individuals

Not Just a Distribution Point

If You Supply Other Groups, Not Just Individuals

Some community organisations operate as a local redistribution hub — receiving food in bulk and passing it on to smaller foodbanks, pantries or community groups in their area, rather than distributing directly to individuals. FoodBank360 supports this model directly, tracking both what comes in at scale and what goes out to each member organisation you supply.

  • Bulk Receiving
  • Onward Supply
  • One System, Both Directions

What FoodBank360 Handles for Your Community Food Project

From a single neighbourhood pantry to a local redistribution hub, FoodBank360 covers community foodbank software and community food support software in one connected platform.

Food Supply & Partnerships

Track stock by where it actually came from — not just a single generic donations line.

Referrals & Households

Manage referrals and households, from your own community or a wider network.

Volunteers

Coordinate volunteers for packing, distribution and collection, with unlimited access included.

Foodbank & Pantry Operations

Run a traditional foodbank, choice-based pantry, or points-based pantry, connected to the same records.

Reporting for Funders & Committees

Reports that fit how you're governed — trustees, a management committee, or CIC-specific reporting.

GDPR-Compliant Data Handling

Household, volunteer and supply-partner data handled in line with UK GDPR.

Not Every Community Food Project Looks the Same

FoodBank360 is built to support the different ways UK community organisations provide food support.

  • Community centres and village halls running a food pantry alongside wider activities
  • Registered charities, CICs, and informal community groups alike
  • Neighbourhood and grassroots groups, often entirely volunteer-run
  • Organisations without full-time administrative staff
  • Local redistribution hubs supplying smaller member organisations
  • Groups moving off spreadsheets for the first time
  • Community pantries and social supermarkets, choice or points-based
  • Projects reporting to a management committee rather than a board of trustees
  • Multi-service community organisations combining food support with other services
  • Community food hubs combining food access with wider local support
  • Groups sourcing stock from more than one supply partner at once
  • Small groups that have simply outgrown what they started with

Built to Work However Your Organisation Is Structured

Community food projects take a lot of different legal and organisational forms — registered charities, community interest companies, informal volunteer-led groups, or something that hasn't been formalised at all. FoodBank360 is built to work across all of them, including CIC-specific governance and reporting, without assuming every organisation using it has a board of trustees or a Charity Commission number.
