We really appreciate your continued support and interest in Foodbank. Daphine is making more contacts with possible voucher holders and is finally seeing the fruit of all the work she has put in. We have quite a varied group of front line community workers prepared to be voucher holders already with hopefully more on the way. Please pray for her as she interacts with key people in the community that they would hear what she has to say and catch the vision. (more…)

A massive thank you to all our supporters for helping with our first food collection at Sainsbury’s Sands End on Saturday May 15.

The ground had been well prepared as the store had been making announcements all the previous week about the collection and some people had already been shopping and had left bags of food before we even arrived. (more…)

The last few weeks have been very busy with the many aspects of setting up our foodbank, including setting up a database of all those who have volunteered to help us. We would like to thank all of you who have volunteered for your patience during this process and many thanks to Paul Redding for setting up the database and getting us started. It is our hope to send out regular newsletters to keep you updated with our progress. This project will not work without you. (more…)
