Requests update...

We still need EVERYTHING that was on the last update (6th December), but we could also do with some pasta sauces too. Like last week, we are really very low on some things, especially tinned meat and veg. Please feel free to drop anything in at the Vineyard Centre over the coming week in particular, as there will be no Sunday celebration on December 30th and the Vineyard Centre will be closed from 24th of December and only re-opening in the New Year. We are still hoping to be able to give out food bags over that period, so any donations that you would have before then would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Requests update...

When we make up a food bag at Storehouse we like to put in enough appropriate items to make up meals for at least one or two days. As the cupboards are at the moment, we are going to struggle to do that because we are really low of certain things (in fact out of some). The things that we particularly need at the moment are:
  • tinned meat
  • tinned vegetables
  • pot noodles and similar
  • small cartons of long life milk
  • tea bags
  • toiletries, especially toothpaste
  • anything that can be eaten without being cooked

Thank you

November stats

During November, Storehouse gave away 72 food bags via 11 different agencies plus some non agency donations. This has only been possible through the continued giving of everyone who supports Storehouse; this is what YOU have done. It's sometimes easy to think of these as just statistics, but in reality these are real people, real situations, real crises that people find themselves in, and every donation makes a difference. Your donations of food and toiletries through November has been amazing, especially when we have had some real shortages of certain items, so a huge THANK YOU and, as these figures demonstrate, every thing that you give truly does make a difference.
