About Us
Launched in 2022 with the support of the Armagh Banbridge and Craigavon council, the ABC Community Food Hub was designed to provide a centralised location for food donations in the Craigavon area; and to distribute surplus food from various sources to key trusted partners in the Borough, who are providing food-based support services.
The Craigavon Area Compassion Project believes that no one should experience hunger or poverty and that everyone within the community should have access to good food. The creation of the ABC Community Food Hub is one facet of the project’s food poverty strategic plan.
“Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life.”
— Nelson Mandela
How It Works
The ABC Community Food Hub obtains food from a variety of sources and redistributes it to key trusted partners in the Borough, who are providing food-based support services.
Surplus food is supplied from FareShare, engagement with local food producers and some targeted direct purchases enabled from specific funding streams. On average the project reallocates around 4 tonnes of food each month, much of which was destined for waste.
The ABC Community Food Hub will continue to develop its strategic partnerships with local food producers in the coming year to tackle food waste and help businesses achieve their corporate social responsibility goals.

Providing you are a UK taxpayer, you can increase your charitable donations to all charities by Gift Aiding your donations.
Gift Aid is one of the simplest and most effective ways of giving to charity. It is a scheme introduced by HM Revenue & Customs, which allows us to reclaim the basic rate tax you pay as a UK taxpayer.
It means that for every £1 you donate we can claim an extra 25p of tax, at no extra cost to you. All that is required from you is a one-off declaration. You can let us know you wish to Gift Aid your donation by ticking the Gift aid box when making a donation online.
