About Food & Solidarity
A democratic, non-profit, and member-led organisation for low/no to moderate income people fighting for our members and providing household parcels. We fight for members using our collective power. For issues including housing, immigration, and any other affairs in the lives of our members, utilizing direct action!
Food and Solidarity is not a charity: Charity treats poverty as a tragedy. Solidarity treats it as an injustice. Charity asks who deserves help. Solidarity asks why anyone needs it in the first place.
Membership Fees
Why pay fees?
Paying fees to Food & Solidarity is vital—it's the organisation's main source of income. Your contribution funds essential food parcels, direct support, and campaigns addressing housing and poverty. It's an investment in our collective power, because together, you create real change.
