ALDI SLEAFORD

All our activities come under the New Life Church Ministries (Sleaford) charity. It is our wish to support any organisation and supermarkets that uses the Neighbourly platform to reduce food waste. Food is then provided in many ways across our locations and activities. We value the support from our partners. Sleaford New Life Community Impact run many activities under our charitable umbrella. These include our Food Bank, Seniors Meals provision, Community Table, and more. We also operate some sub-trading activities like our Community Grocery, Community Coffee Shop, and Conference Centre, some of which have pay-it-forward options. All profits are reinvested in sustaining charitable activities, serving our community, and supporting those who need help. We especially value additional items for our Community Larder, which is stocked entirely by donations from individuals, businesses, schools and churches who provide produce such as tins and packets, often through their harvest festival celebrations. These items create a central stock that is used in the food parcels, whilst financial donations enable us to provide milk, bread, essential toiletries and nappies. Any excess or surplus items are redistributed to other Community activities, to avoid food waste..

Meals on Wheels service is available every weekday including Bank Holidays. These consist of a hot main meal and dessert which is delivered ready to eat. Special diets are available. When meals are delivered we also check on the wellbeing of the individual. Community Pantry, open 6 sessions a week for 1 hr. We collect surplus food from food outlets in Bourne and make it available to the public no matter their circumstances. Our Cleaning service is available for domestic housework including ironing and shopping. An assessment is required for each service to ensure we can meet your needs.

We opened a food pantry in February and we never expected it to grow as much as it has. Fareshare is supplying the majority of food but are unable to increase our supply due to lack of space on the van at the moment. We are currently turning people away which is not something we want to do but we just can’t keep up with the demand. We are in desperate need for all kinds of food items. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
