Paragon Dorset

Dorchester, UK

I work for a Domestic Abuse Charity. We have 3 refuges and numerous clients, across the whole of Dorset. A lot of our clients come to refuge with nothing and we try to provide them with a food parcel. Also, many of our outreach client's use food banks and struggle financially when they have left their abuser.

The Storehouse Church AOG in Partnership with Community Share

Dorchester, UK

The Story of Community Share originally known as Dorchester Community Kitchen provided food boxes for those who need them. During the Pandemic We sourced surplus and donated food and redistribute it to those who find themselves in short time financial difficulty, or simply need a little extra help. We focused on reaching Carers and Parents with Children with SEND and those who are falling through the gapes during this current crisis. Dorchester Community Kitchen was already in development as the Corona Virus struck. To meet the needs of the emergency we have quickly developed a community orientated food box service for carers, families supporting those with disabilities and Send children. We also focus on the most vulnerable in our community during these unprecedented times. We also support a number of other community groups at this difficult time. In our first 4 weeks of operation we reached some incredible milestones 468 food boxes Over 1400 individuals benefiting from box contents An amazing volunteer team of 30 and growing 51% of recipients identifying as carers 50 plus food packages to the vulnerable and homeless in Dorchester We then rebranded with a new name and a focus to reaching the community. We changed our named to Community Share. We have created 4 community Larders in and around Dorchester helping people, families struggling with food poverty. Braking down the stigma of food poverty by offering non-referral community larders open various times a week in multiple locations so people can help themselves to food without the stigma of jumping through red tape and feeling ashamed to ask for help. # communityshare Sharing is caring, from sharing your food to your time and skills, we are powered by our volunteers and donations, without them we wouldn't be able to do what we do, we've got big plans for the future and we can't wait to share them with you. Keep an eye out on our social media and website for our announcements. Support from community and business has been fantastic, but in these challenging times we still need to keep up with demand. We would welcome food donations from suppliers, producers and of course the community. Our email is https://community-share.org/
