Rehoboth Community Outreach food and clothes bank is a Church based charity that provides a hot meal, surplus food and clothes for the local Community around Croydon. Our doors are open to anyone who comes to us. We operate twice a month on a Saturday afternoon between 1-3pm. We also offer spiritual support.

ln August 2007, ECE recieved a Certificate of Appreciation on behalf of 300,000 members of the IYF (International Youth Fellowship) for our contribution to the UK branch. In September 2008, Esther Community Enterprise was awarded certificates from the Lord Mayor of Croydon, for having carried out 100 hours of volunteering activities. On the 2 June 2011, ECE was awarded with theQueens Award for Voluntary Service, MBE. This is the highest award given to voluntary groups in the United Kingdom, and as such, is equivalent in status to the MBE. This prestigious UK National Honour recognises outstanding voluntary contributions and sets the national benchmark for excellence in volunteering, with the work of those awarded being judged to be of the highest standard. We aim to meet those who have needs in the local community by redistribution of food and other consumables donated from retailers. ECE makes a worthwhile collective response to the 3 tenets of sustainable development, namely social, economical and environmental needs. ECE forms a consortium with other charities, faith groups, projects and organisations. We have over 70 Project Co-ordinators. They manage and help to distribute the food/groceries and clothing items within the local communities across the UK, on behalf of ECE. We have sustained our social enterprise through the goodwill and hard work of over 400 drivers and countless volunteers, who contribute their time, transportation and finance to this worthy cause. Near sell by date food is collected on a daily basis from a range of supermarkets and other retailers and diverted to those that need it most ECE feeds in excess of 40,000 people per week and this is steadily on the increase as we expand across the UK

Janies Kitchen foodhub will provide the community of Surrey young and old with surplus Food kindly donated by Supermarkets We operate from a fully equipped address with dedicated extra storage space for both chilled frozen and ambient foods We are a community hub since Feb 2025 and we identify those in need from our local community using contacts who work in the volunteer sector. We have both multiple generational households and those who have larger families. Many people are uncomfortable going to a large foodbank so we aim to provide something more personal with no judgement of circumstances We already have a whatsapp and email list pf families waiting and you can see all of our amazing donations from our supermarket partners on our x page In the coming months we want tp grow find a website deisgner who is able to donate time to build a site and we already have a twitter page which you can see below. We would also like some branding as well but dio not have any funds at present. We do not make and do not want to make charges for food. We also want to try and signpost people to any other services we feel may be of help to them. Every food hub has to start somewhere. We are new and we will be sharing all activity photos going forward and we hope this will help us grow into something amazing If you need any further information please do get in touch
