A Decade of Compassion: The Story of Worcestershire Homeless Shoe Box and Gift Bag Appeal Ten years ago, a small dream to bring comfort and hope to those in need grew into something extraordinary. From humble beginnings, we’ve provided thousands of hot meals, clothing, and launched a community pantry and fridge seven years ago—saving tons of food from landfill to nourish local and surrounding communities. Challenges came, but seeing smiles and making a difference made every effort worthwhile. We’ve moved from a van to two dedicated units, thanks to incredible volunteers, donors, and supporters. As we celebrate this milestone, we’re filled with gratitude. Thank you for helping us build a kinder community—here’s to the next ten years, together. (250 characters exactly including spaces)

Moving Forward Community Fridge is based at Westlands Community Centre in Droitwich to support the whole of the Droitwich. We have the support of Hubbub and we are working closely with them. We work families predominantly on the Westlands estate and it has become clear that there is a need for support in the area, we have run a number of holiday hunger campaigns during school holidays and during lockdowns. Families have discussed with us that Covid has added pressure to their alrrady difficult financial situations and they are finding it increasing hard to feed their families. We are aware that there is already a Food Bank and Community Pantry in the town and we feel that the addition of our Community Fridge will only enhance the wellbeing and support offered to all families living in Droitwich. We are working with the Food Bank to support those in greatest need.
