Supporting Our Community and Beyond

 
  • We leave boxes for donations outside our churches. Please continue to put things into them. A good time to do this is when the church is open or on Mondays when Doug will be in the porch from 9.30-10am.

  • …And PRAY!

If you are in need of support with food whether you live alone, as a couple or a family, please contact Revd Mark Payne for help.


Ever walked into the supermarket, seen the Foodbank box and wondered what Foodbank needs this month? Have you tried the app BanktheFood? This app pings whenever you approach one of Braintree Area Foodbank donations points and will give you an up-to-date list of the items needed .

Email pm@braintreearea.foodbank.org.uk, if you could carry out this role.

 

Vanessa, Public Relations Officer at Braintree Area Foodbank, writes:

We have been working hard and are bracing ourselves for the new clients that we will see due to the economic changes being made and the cost of living.  Trussell Trust are currently running campaigns regarding how people will be affected.  For more information please visit https://www.trussell.org.uk/ 

Thank you all for supporting the Foodbank.  Your support is greatly appreciated by us all here, our volunteers and our clients that we help because of your support.

You will also see below that it is now possible to make a financial donation to Foodbank straight from your pay packet. Foodbank also welcomes one-off monetary donations.
