Thurrock Foodbank

  

   Foodbank


Good evening,

 

Work at our foodbank never stops, there is always something going on and there are always a variety of discussions going on, to see how we continue to bless the people of Thurrock.

Whilst our centres have seen a steady flow of people. We are still seeing more than half of the people coming to us, attending our centres for the first time. This is why it is so important that our centres are such a warm welcoming environment to ensure people feel at ease when they come to our centres.

This week we attended the Food Network Event hosted by Thurrock Council. It was good to meet with like minded people to share our concerns and see how we can collaborate to ensure we provide the best service for the community of Thurrock.

It was good to meet with the teams from Hardie Park, Friends of Essex & London Homeless and the Salvation Army to see where our services overlap and how we can ensure we get the right help to those that need it the most. Certainly lots of follow up discussions to have with them in the future. 

 

We really value your support with any donations whether it be by a financial donation or a food donation, All donations go towards our work seeking to bless the community of Thurrock. 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:
Fruit Juice
Soups (meat & Vegetable)

Tinned Meats
Desserts (Custard, Rice Pudding, Jellies, Sponge Puddings, Tinned Fruit)
Mashed Potato

Tinned Potatoes
Pasta/ Cooking Sauces

Coffee

We really do appreciate any donation, however large or small, as the saying goes. "Every Little Helps" 

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

Wishing you a good week ahead,
