Good afternoon,
Whilst last night was disappointing for England Football fans, life at Thurrock Foodbank doesn't fail to disappoint!
Last week we had a team at Morrisons Grays for a summer Food Collection. Our administrator Helen. did a great job coordinating the teams to ensure we had people covering the week and Helen spent so much of the week at Morrisons, We believe she was there that much she was nominated for employee of the week. A massive thanks to all who help they helped collect over 1 tonne of food and £150 in cash. This would not have been possible without their help and these donations will make such a difference to our operation.
We appreciate the generosity our volunteers show us by giving their time and talents and it's because of our volunteers we are able to achieve our goals and make a positive impact in our community.
Sadly as some of you are aware, our Facebook and Instagram accounts were hacked, so we have had to set up new accounts, please take alook by following the links below:
