The Matthew Tree Project is developing a network of FOODStORE's and services to support people to move out of poverty. Departing from the dominant food bank model, food provision is not limited to three trips; an agreement is reached with individuals about the programme of support that will be offered. This presents a different approach to avoiding dependency while also alleviating the pressure faced by the clients. By reducing the concerns about food spending, individuals have more scope to address the underlying causes.
