Good afternoon,

Hope you have all dried out after yesterday's rain, Our van crew certainly did get a little damp. We also have some leaky wheel arches on our van that made the whole experience very wet!!

Thank you to the van crew who carried on throughout the poor conditions.

We have finally found someone to repair the wheel arches on our van, so our van will finally be waterproof! Which will be very much appreciated by us all.

Thank you also to our team that were at ASDA Tilbury store collection last weekend. They collected a massive 603kg of food, plus £101, in cash donations. Thank you all so much for giving up your time, it clearly makes a huge difference to our stock.

Our next collection is at the end of November at Tesco Lakeside, if you can spare an hour, please do contact us. We would love to have some more people join our team. Please contactadmin@thurrock.foodbank.org.uk

As November is just days away, there are lots on the horizon, we have some exciting filming taking place at our Warehouse, which we will share more about next week.

As the demand is continuous, we still have some low stocks on some of our most basic items that are required to make up a food parcel. These items are:

Cordial/ Squash
Fruit Juice
Soups (meat & Vegetable)
Desserts (Custard, Rice Pudding, Jellies, Sponge Puddings)
Mashed Potato
Biscuits
Tinned Fish
Chocolate
Coffee

We really value your support with any donations whether it be by a financial donation or a food donation, we really do appreciate any donation, however large or small, as the saying goes. "Every Little Helps" It all goes towards our work seeking to bless the community of Thurrock

If you require any further information or would to discuss any aspect of our work in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact me,

Thank you so much for your support

Have a good week
