Thank you all!
We have wanted to thank our amazing volunteers (pictured below right) for all their help in the last 2 years particularly through the difficult times of the pandemic. So we had a fantastic barbecue on bank holiday Monday as a bit of a celebration of the food bank achievements and to say a special 'Thank You'! We also looked at our delivery statistics and so far this year we have made over 6550 deliveries! This included 8785 bags of food which enabled families to make nearly 150,000 meals. These statistics are staggering and we are so grateful to donors and volunteers for all your help. We couldn't have done it without you!
Again this month, we really appreciate the continued support from our local supermarkets. We have received donations from them and their customers including Booths Country Longton, Tesco Extra Leyland, Co-op Lostock Hall, Sainsburys Bamber Bridge, Waitrose & Partners Capitol Centre and their customers' have continued to provide several trolley loads each week. Jo, Community Champion Asda Clayton Green donated a trolley load of food specifically from our notice board shown here with her colleague Niki. 
As always our local community have continued to pop into our church building, donating much needed essentials from our shopping list (see above). We had a lovely fresh donation of plums from Lynette and Shaun straight from their tree - thank you so much. Scots Guards Association - Preston Branch brought in another large donation from Morrison's Deepdale (pictured below left) which was gratefully appreciated. We've also had much needed donations of pet food which is great as we have a number of clients with pets and really appreciate your support in this way.
At the Food Bank our volunteers do their best to provide for all the different needs of our clients. We have various types of bags for families, large families and single people plus those in temporary accommodation. We also try to cater for those having special dietary requirements including diabetic, vegetarian, vegan, food intolerances and halal. Well done to all the team who manage this so well! We would also like to thank all those new volunteers who have started in the last few weeks. Emergency Appeal
Over the last year, we have become aware of the desperate needs of some clients when we go out on food deliveries. In response we have set up a campaign on Just Giving for basic practical items and white goods. Please read the information on the link below and donate if you can. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. We are 70% towards our target which is fantastic!

Our Service
The purpose of our Food Bank is to provide provisions for people who are struggling to provide for themselves due to financial limitations as a result of various circumstances. Our service is designed to be a hand up, supporting individuals and families in need through engagement and support as they stabilise their financial situation.
Two key principles in the operation of Food Bank are:
A Hand Up, Not A Hand Out – This is not just about free food – Our model is to: Engage / Assess / Support / Transform.
Home Delivery Model – Teams of fully trained volunteers deliver direct to the homes of the people needing our help.
To enable us to support our local community, we regularly need donations of non-perishable food items, toiletries, household cleaning items, pet food and other pet essentials. If you're interested in finding out how you can support our Food Bank including donating any items, please contact the team by phone or email or altenatively bring items to the collection point at the church in Ward street Monday to Thursdays, 9am - 1pm.
