Sainsbury's Knutsford Canute Pl Local

We are a Christian charity, working to prevent poverty and relieve its consequences in the WA16 and SK9 postcode areas of Cheshire East. We do this by offering two Food Banks, one in Knutsford and one in Handforth, as well as an affordable Pantry. We are so grateful for donations of non perishable food from local individual people, churches, organisations, businesses and supermarkets so that we can provide emergency food parcels to relieve immediate and urgent need. These donations also provide stock for our affordable Pantry which promotes dignity choice and hope for people who are struggling to make ends meet. The Pantry allows people to pay a membership fee of £6 every time they attend the Pantry and they can choose fresh, frozen, fridge and ambient food which is often worth up to £25. We work with local referral agencies including social prescribers, mental health workers and schools to ensure that the people who are in greatest need are referred to our services. We also work in partnership with Your Local Pantry who have set up over 120 Pantries across England and we are their first Pantry in Cheshire East. Our partnership working extends to the national charity Christians Against Poverty which facilitates us offering a wrap around service for individuals - helping them out of debt, equipping them via the Money course, Life Skills and Job Club (all free of charge). Rather than just being a sticking plaster of offering food, we want to support people to change their circumstances. In addition we run drop in Hope Centres where people can meet to share a meal and spend time in a caring and supportive environment, reducing social isolation. The food and drinks we offer here are all free of charge. We long to see people live independently and free from poverty and with the hope that is found in the Christian faith. We rely on a supply of non perishable and perishable food, groceries and personal items for those in immediate need of support.
