Sainsbury's Willerby Local

At Ekklesia Hull our aim is to share God’s love in a practical way by supporting anyone in the community who’s struggling. We saw that many people are finding it difficult to make ends meet in our community so we decided to provide hot meals and sandwiches every Sunday in the afternoon to everyone. We had a gentleman say to us that, the meal was the first time he’s had something hot to eat all week. We also provide bagged rice, oil and essential food parcels to individuals and families in need, welcoming everyone regardless of background or faith. We know our resources are limited, but every donation helps us reach more people with kindness, dignity, and hope.

We are a volunteer-led food bank serving Hessle, Anlaby and the surrounding East Riding of Yorkshire villages. We help over 80 households each week. On Monday we run a community pantry and Thursday a food bank. We rely on the generosity of people donating money and items of food and household essentials .

We are a street food kitchen and provide food to the homeless and in need in Hull city centre., each week We also provide food parcels to those people moving on from the streets and out of hostels into their forever home. We also provide food parcels to other groups in need in our local area. We also provide clothing, toiletries and household items. We pay for all our own fuel, and utilities to cook the food and buy food ourselves and run events.
