Sainsbury's Dartford

We are a Christian community that tries to live out our calling by welcoming, worshiping, and working in and around our neighbourhood. A core value of the Christian faith, taught by Jesus is the importance of helping others who are less fortunate. In line with this core value we recently (September 2021) set up a Food Bank to offer help and support to families in crisis living around Temple Hill and surrounding areas in Dartford. The Food Bank is open to all, regardless of faith, race or gender. You can find out more on the link below. https://nextdoor.co.uk/p/3mShpx-HK7fx?utm_source=share&extras=MTc1OTIxOTQzNTE3NjM%3D

At the moment during the Covid Pandemic we are running a food bank for people in Bexley Borough. We do not ask for vouchers as we find that demeaning and everyone should be entitled to food. We are asking for help with donations to the food bank either monetary or in food. We are also looking to help out with Christmas Hampers these will include a Turkey, vegetables and other Christmas items. We are looking for a company to help us deliver this project. Howbury Friends runs a multitude of projects but our aim for this project is in 3 parts: 1) To collect food surplus and create menus and cookery activities for all ages in the community and to distribute any unused food out to the community. 2) To provide educational activities for all ages, with a safe environment and achievable outcomes such as cookery projects, arts and crafts etc. 3) To support families and adults to help them get back into education, stay in mainstream school or get employment or further education,
