Good afternoon to you all, 

This week continues to be quite humbling as we seek to support our community. Over the past week we have seen some individuals come via partner organisations looking for specific support. Once again our teams have stepped up proving that people do care we are able to give people Hope for a Better Future. 

Our Team at Little Thurrock Helped a family that they had seen at a store collection. 

When they entered the centre and were welcomed by the team when they attended. The dad stated "I can't believe you gave me a second thought, I can't believe how kind you all are, we will be able to get through now".

We have also passed on two previously enjoyed TV's to people that are struggling after a house fire and the other having been given a bed set after 9 months on the streets!

This is a clear demonstration on how small acts of kindness can make the world of difference!

As can be seen our work is really expanding well beyond handing out beans and pasta and it is all part of helping people rebuild their lives.

Sadly our food donations are really down, and we are now struggling to keep our volunteers fully employed and the stock on our shelves is starting to look somewhat sparse.  This week we have had a team at Morrisons in Grays encouraging people to donate to our work. We have a few more collections in the coming months so if you or your team can spare an hour or two we would  appreciate the help.
