ALDI WAKEFIELD - SNOW HILL WAY

We are a community based kitchen, we have a kitchen outside the Wakefield Cathedral every Wednesday from 6pm. We offer a hot meal, pastries, snacks, sandwiches, as well as clothing toiletries and books to anyone in need with no judgement. We also provide tents and sleeping bags for those that are homeless. Everything is free to anyone who needs it. We began in August 2018 and our first kitchen fed 30 people, and currently we are feeding about a 100 people plus minus a week sometimes whole families. We have some amazing volunteers and we are not just about food, we have plenty of volunteers around all the time for people to chat to about any issues they have and just to lend an ear.

CGCC Food Bank have been operating since April 2020. We began work during the COVID pandemic and quickly identified that support was required in the local area. We are proudly supported by Calder Grove Cricket Club and are based at their premises. We deliver around 50 free of charge food parcels every week to families and individuals. Some refer directly to us but we encourage all in need to seek a referral from a professional agency so as to ensure wider support is available if needed. We receive most of our referrals this way.

Hi. Our community group was set up back in March 2020 amid the lock down for the vulnerable. From there we set up a food bank & also did shopping for the vulnerable and collected prescriptions etc. We now have referrals from the Wakefield North and have been commended by Wakefield Council for the running of the food bank and the number of local people we have been able to help. We have had radio coverage too which came as a surprise! One of our volunteers was even interviewed on Radio Leeds quite recently. Our social media is covering a vast area and referrals come through Wakefield council for the food bank. The community is also donating. But due the ever increasing demand we still run short of food items. Any donations would be much appreciated and we can move forward in knowing we have the goods for the food bank for the referrals coming through. Thank you from all our volunteers @ Wrenthorpe & Kirkhamgate Assist.
