Our service is an integral part of the local Food Share project. One of our exceptional volunteers, Alan, selflessly operates our ageing van to collect a variety of produce from local suppliers and supermarkets. The items we gather include fresh produce, baked goods, canned items, pet food, baby products, frozen foods and more.
This food is then distributed to people who use our service upon request when they attend an appointment.
Given the continual rise in the cost of living, our food distribution service is an invaluable resource for those in need.
Regrettably, the van we rely on is quite old and is prone to frequent breakdowns. There have been instances where we were without the van for weeks on end, resulting in a significant shortage of food for those who need it. If our van breaks down completely, we won’t be able to carry on offering food gifts to the people who access our service. This would be a devastating loss for our community.
We are urgently seeking a new van to ensure we can carry on with our vital food share programme. Your support in helping us acquire a new van is greatly appreciated.
You can help provide support to purchase a new van for food parcel deliveries to people using our service by donating here: Change Grow Live food share van - we encourage you to share this link with anyone who may be willing to support!
