• 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 .

Our current shopping list

We really need your help to keep our stocks up.  So far this year we are 25% down on food donations and we are seeing this worrying trend continue.  We understand that whereas once people would have made a donation they can't. We are asking that if you can manage to make a donation from the attached shopping lists it would be really appreciated.

Harvest Festival

Is your church, business or parish holding an event for Harvest in the Autumn? Would you like to let us know what you are up to so that we can share this and promote any events that are in aid of the Foodbank? We would love to hear from you. For more information please visit https://www.trussell.org.uk/ 

Once again thank you all for your support.  Without your help we would not be able to continue our work.

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.
