Who We Are
At Lumi Place C.I.C., our passion lies in creating a more sustainable and equitable society in the New Ferry community.
We believe that access to healthy and nutritious food should be a basic human right, and we are committed to making this a reality for all residents, regardless of their financial situation.
Unlike traditional food banks that rely solely on donations, we adopt an innovative approach to addressing food insecurity. By partnering with local supermarkets and food retailers, we are able to collect surplus food that would otherwise go to waste.
