Current Support work -Winter Night shelter

---

Our food bank exists to offer practical, immediate support to individuals and families who are struggling to afford essential food items. Every donation we receive—whether it’s a bag of pasta, a packet of biscuits, a carton of tea, or a financial contribution—directly helps someone in our community who may be going without. If you are considering supporting us, we are deeply grateful. Your generosity truly makes a difference, and even the smallest donation can have a meaningful impact on someone’s daily life.

We focus on supplying non-perishable, everyday items that people can use to prepare proper meals at home. These include reliable essentials such as pasta, rice, cooking sauces, lentils, tinned vegetables, tinned fruits, soups, beans, biscuits, sugar, tea, and similar staples. Items like cooking oil, cereals, flour, long-life milk, and tinned meats or fish are also extremely valuable. Each of these items helps individuals stretch their food supply further, allowing them to cook simple, healthy meals regardless of their circumstances.

We also understand that not everyone can easily travel to the church. For those who live within the West London areas, we offer a collection service. If you have items to donate but cannot drop them off, let us know, and a member of our team can arrange a convenient time to collect the donations directly from your doorstep.

Your donations help real people—individuals facing difficulties for a wide range of reasons. Some are experiencing temporary financial setbacks, sudden job loss, or unexpected bills. Others are refugees, asylum seekers, elderly residents on limited incomes, or single parents trying to make ends meet.

For supporters who prefer to contribute financially, we also accept monetary donations via our online link on the home page. Monetary donations are incredibly valuable because they allow us to purchase the specific items we need most at any given time. Some weeks we run low on rice, tea, or long-life milk; other weeks we may urgently need cooking oil or tinned goods. Financial contributions help us respond quickly to these shortages. They also allow us to buy in bulk when prices are lower, making your donation stretch even further. For many supporters, giving financially is the simplest way to help, especially if they want to donate regularly or support us from afar. Whether it’s a one-off gift or a recurring monthly contribution, your support enables us to keep our shelves stocked and our services running smoothly.
