With the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the Xpress van is currently used as a mobile food bank. It allows for the elderly, in the region of Oldham where it is operating, to have a mini food supermarket at their doorstep. This allows them to select the items they wish for their food parcels as well as gets them out of the house, albeit at the front door, for a short while.
Xpress and Rambler
Xpress
These multi-use vehicles are ideal for transporting the food parcels and aid needed to the communities we serve.
There are currently two Xpress vehicles in operation. One in Oldham, UK - where it operates as a mobile food bank, bringing much-needed assistance to the elderly and vulnerable. The other is working in South African townships, transporting monthly food parcels and other aid to those most in need in the Kwa-Zulu Natal area including Inanda, Chatsworth and Clermont.
Rambler
Smaller than the Xpress and thus more versatile. The current Rambler vehicle is also situated in South Africa, serving townships in the Western Cape area including Heiderveld, Gugulethu and Khayelitsha.
