Victory Outreach Liverpool has had great success in helping people that have struggled with substance misuse, crime and other life-impairing circumstances, restore their lives with dignity and purpose. One key area we in Victory Outreach strive towards is seeing the restoration of families. We also believe in helping children, teens, and young adults unlock their potential, gifting, and talents to become all they are meant to be in life and in society. One of the programs we have here at Victory Outreach is the Manna Project where we collect food through charitable donations and distribute to our community and other families in need of assistance. We believe in being a light of hope in our community and to the city of Liverpool.

Hope Community fridge aims to provide affordable food shops to those in our community (a bag of shopping for a £3.50 donation). We have a shop set up in our church building, where people are welcomed to enjoy refreshments in a warm space before/after doing their shop. We would love to build relationships with those in our local area, and have various other projects and courses available at different times, including parenting courses, money management, a toddler group and life groups. The Fridge is accessible to anyone, advertised by flyers, door knocking in the area, through local schools, work of mouth, and connections with other pantries which are oversubscribed nearby. Obviously other activities with in the church are for more specific groups and some for anyone in need, ie, toddler group/parenting courses for families; money management available to any contacts made. Our facebook page shows other connections we have in the community - over spring/summer last year we did regular litter picking, and transformed a waste ground into a community garden. Local councillors have been supportive of these projects. As a team, we only begun this work approximately 20 months ago, so this is just the beginning and we have a vision for more in the future. We aren’t currently linked to any other retailers for donations for our Community Fridge. We have links with Liverpool City Mission charity who provide us with surplus donations where possible, and source all other food ourselves. Donations would provide this project with longevity, and the ability to support more households in our area, particularly through this time where some are choosing whether to eat or heat their homes. Thank you for any support you are able to offer.

The Rotunda Wellbeing Community Garden and Bistro is a much needed and utilised local meeting place and a place where we can educate in healthy living and support the community with subsidised food and help in this time of real austerity.
