St Pauls Infant School & Northborough Schools, Maidstone
Maidstone, UK
This project has been set up to support the families, carers and children of our schools (~1800 pupils), offering them access to food donations in a time of very high living costs.
With the current cost of living being so high, some of our families find themselves in unsettling financial situations and our aim is to be able to support them by offering food parcels directly which are either collectable from our school offices or delivered directly to our families.
We know that the only healthy meal our children have is the lunch offered at school and so in addition to the food parcels, we offer all additional surplus food to our entire school community.
We do not charge any of our families or school community for the food that we provide and all collections and deliveries are undertaken by parents within this community
We are very grateful for all the donations that we receive from supermarkets locally to us and we know that all our school community is exceptionally grateful for this provision that we offer!
