Helen, Lou and Jacob from Watkins spent a day in May helping Thanet Food Link move out of their old distribution centre in Cliftonville and into their new home at the Margate Salvation Army Citadel. Cabinets, shelving, signage and everything in between. Watkins lent a van, three pairs of hands, and a few hours of time.
A day on the move
The team spent the day loading, unloading, and helping Food Link volunteers settle into the new space. By the end of it the cabinets were in place, the shelving was up, and the foodbank was ready to carry on doing what it does best, serving local families and individuals across Thanet.
Where to find Thanet Food Link now

An ongoing partnership
The move is part of a longer-running relationship. Over the past year Watkins has been supporting Thanet Food Link with monthly long-life milk donations and seasonal food drives, and we’re glad to keep finding practical ways to help them do what they do.
