Family Food Support
Monthly food boxes or approved vouchers for verified vulnerable households, using defined eligibility, household-size and repeat-support rules.
Flagship Long-Term Programme
Rehoboth Food Bank
Food security with dignity — providing structured, accountable food support to vulnerable households while building pathways toward stability and self-reliance.
Why It Exists
From occasional relief to a dependable food-security system.
Household food pressure can be sudden or recurring. Widowhood, unemployment, disability, old age, medical costs and other crises can leave a family unable to meet basic food needs even when the need is temporary.
Rehoboth Food Bank is designed as a year-round humanitarian programme of Rehoboth Potters Peoples Charity Foundation. It combines verified food assistance with safe stock management, documented distribution and appropriate referral into other support pathways.
Year One is designed around Abuja and the Federal Capital Territory. Expansion to other Nigerian communities will depend on verified need, partner funding and demonstrated operating capacity.
Past Delivery Evidence

Built on practical community outreach experience.
The Food Bank formalises and strengthens an earlier community-sharing model in which families and supporters contributed food, clothing and usable pre-owned goods for free redistribution. Our Impact archive includes video documentation from past Abuja CHOP FOR FREE / SHOP FOR FREE activities. The historic model was largely in-kind rather than formal corporate cash sponsorship.

Where suitable, recurring beneficiaries may be referred into skills, livelihoods, education, health or other Foundation support pathways.
Safety & Accountability
Receiving checks, stock records, expiry management, beneficiary documentation, consent-conscious evidence and post-distribution reconciliation.

Corporate Partnership
Fund a defined workstream. Measure the result.
We structure restricted partnerships around named workstreams so that a partner can see what it is funding and so the Foundation can prevent double funding across corporate commitments.
