Vinnie's Diner and Food Bank

Ashford, UK

Vinnie's Diner is open every Monday and Friday lunchtime - doors open 10.00am - and run until approximately 1:00pm. We hope to promote the wellbeing of our community by providing a place where the most vulnerable in our society can feel safe, cared for, and be given a practical helping hand through a hot nutritious meal and the offer of a food parcel to help 'make ends meet'. We hope to help create a sense of community through both the team of volunteers who help each week and the guests who regularly visit us. We are able to act as a distribution point for food businesses/ supermarkets who are looking to give away surplus food to help those in need. We already work with FareShare. We also aim to be a 'hub' where vulnerable people can access support through other agencies. At present we work closely with Porchlight who help the homeless find accommodation. They currently send one of their staff to our project to engage with rough sleepers. At present we see around 40-50 attend Vinnie's Diner each Monday and 20-30 on a Friday who all enjoy a sit down meal - and we give out approximately 100 food parcels a week.
