🥕 Where Does the Food Come From — And What Can I Get?

At Lumi Place CIC, everything we offer on Sundays is made possible thanks to generosity, teamwork, and community spirit.

🌍 Where Does the Food Come From?

We receive food donations from a variety of sources, including:

• Local supermarkets and retailers - Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury, Co-Op, Pret and Umrah Supermarket

• Food redistribution charities

• Community partners and supporters

• Direct donations from individuals

Much of the food we receive would otherwise go to waste — but it’s still good, safe, and perfectly usable. By redistributing this food, we help both people and the planet.

🛒 What Can I Get on a Sunday?

When you visit us on a Sunday, you’ll find a range of free food items, including:

• Fresh fruit and vegetables

• Bread and baked goods

• Dry goods like pasta, rice, and tins

• Occasionally dairy, frozen, or chilled items

• Snacks and drinks (when available)

Availability changes each week, depending on what we receive — but we always do our best to offer a fair and useful selection to every visitor.

🙌 How It Works

• We open at 09:00 AM every Sunday.

• First come, first served — we distribute until food runs out.

• Bring your own bags or use a basket provided on site.

• There’s no cost, no forms, and no judgement. Everyone is welcome.
