Good afternoon,

After the rain and hail yesterday, a nice bright spring day, albeit somewhat chilly when you are out of the sun!

A somewhat quieter week across our centres over the past week, although so far this week there has been quite an increase in footfall. with our centres serving 37 families so far this week! 

For sure there are still a large number of people in our community that are genuinely struggling to get the help they need for their situations.

A busy week in the warehouse with a various number of organisations dropping off their donations, including a number of schools dropping off Easter Eggs, we were even treated to a visit by the Easter Bunny, look out on our social media and our next newsletter for the pictures.

Over the last two days we have met with the Grain Tilbury project team to share about our work and support their cake bake held to raise funds for us at Thurrock Foodbank. It was lovely to be on site with the workers and to talk with them about our work, whilst raising money for our work. We are so blessed to be supported by our corporate partners who really make a difference in supporting us and give us the opportunity to offer a wider range of services to the community of Thurrock.

As the demand continues, we still have some low stocks on some of our most basic items:.
This week these items are:
Noodles 
Tinned Meats (curry, stew, hot dogs etc)
Desserts (Custard, Rice Pudding, Jellies, Sponge Puddings, Tinned Fruit)
Mashed Potato
Tinner Potatoes
Tinned Fish

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" 

So a big Thank You to you all!

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 all so much for your support. It means so much to us.

Wishing you all a good week ahead
