RCCG Place Of Grace in the course of advancing the propagation of the gospel and reducing poverty, make food, clothing and other daily essentials available to the homeless, orphans, widow, widowers, fatherless, motherless and the destitute in Eastleigh and her environs. Although, we are in Eastleigh, Hampshire, we cover areas such as Southampton, Botley, and Hedge-End etc. Our food bank & clothing project has tremendously assisted us to bring people together in a conducive atmosphere and provide food that can be eaten or taken away for those in question and their families. In addition, the essence of our project our is to provide the needed support and counselling by experienced caregivers who can signpost the homeless and destitute in our area to ensure they have roof over their heads. This will enable more people to benefit from the service and support families who are on tight budgets and are keen to provide healthy food options for their children.
