Storehouse on the Air

A couple of weeks ago we were visited by BBC Radio Suffolk, who wanted to run a short piece on Storehouse, as they had heard about it from Ann Coleman at Aid to Hospitals Worldwide. Philippa Taylor came to the Vineyard Centre and had a chat with Margie and Jonathan, and a short piece was aired on Drivetime on Radio Suffolk on the 10th of February. A longer piece went out on the following Sunday morning show, and if you missed it and would like to hear it then click here.

January stats etc

The start of 2010 has shown little let up in the busyness of Storehouse. During this first month of a new year, Storehouse received 62 requests for food bags, from 9 different local agencies plus a couple of non-agency requests, resulting in 69 food bags being given away. Almost half of the requests this month have been for young people, via Connexions and YMCA. It's great to be able to offer Storehouse's practical help to these young people who probably don't have the love and support of a caring family around them. Everyone who supports Storehouse, in whatever way, helps to support these often vulnerable young people, and others, and show them something of God's fatherly love for them. That's why we do what we do - to show and share God's love for the poor, the desperate, the needy. Thank you for all YOU do in continuing to help make this possible.

If you are wondering whether there is anything in particular that you might be able to give to Storehouse to help at the moment, we are beginning to run a little low on meaty meals (eg ravioli, spahetti bolognese, macaroni cheese etc) and tinned vegetables. Any donations of these items would be most welcome, thank you. Remember, even one or two-cans make a difference.
