In conjunction with Bishopston Matters we are a collection point in Gloucester Road for you to donate food for local people in need. We are collecting non-perishable food during Lent – February 13th to March 30th under the campaign ‘Don’t Give Up – Give!’
There is a donation box in the hallway, where you can place your food donation. We also have shopping lists and leaflets with additional information. A shopping list of needed items is also available to download here.
North Bristol Food Bank is a local charity collecting donations of non-perishable foods and distributing them (via referrals and a voucher system) to families in crisis in the North Bristol area. The whole project is run by local volunteers. As well as handing out food they signpost people to seek help and advice linking with debt, health, training, parenting etc. People that receive the help come from all walks of life and are often shocked and ashamed to find themselves in a position where they are receiving hand-outs of food.
