Who do you help and how do you find them? RCCG New Jerusalem Church Manchester supports individuals and families within our local community, particularly people experiencing financial hardship, food insecurity, social isolation or other challenging circumstances. We identify people who may need support through our church's community activities, referrals, existing relationships with local residents and direct approaches from individuals and families seeking assistance. Our support is open to people in need within the wider community and is not limited to members of our congregation. What support are you looking to receive from Neighbourly and how will this help you? We are particularly interested in receiving surplus food donations from local retailers through Neighbourly. This would enable us to provide additional practical support to individuals and families who are struggling with the cost of living while also helping to prevent good food from going to waste. We would also welcome opportunities for grants and volunteering support where available, as these could help us strengthen and expand our community activities. Do you charge for your services? No. Our community support and any food received for distribution are provided free of charge to beneficiaries. We do not sell donated or surplus food. How would food donations work for you? Our volunteers would arrange collection of surplus food from participating retailers at agreed collection times. The food would then be handled responsibly and distributed free of charge to individuals and families in need through our community support activities. We would aim to distribute food promptly and fairly, taking account of the needs of beneficiaries and any food-storage or use-by requirements.

Provision of relief of items to vulnerable and disadvantaged families. We now want to launch a community hub but need more funding, help with fridge and a space to fully launch the hub. When this is accomplished we will be able to increase our beneficiary base as well as increase our services. People will not have to wait to get appointments before accessing food. They can get come in everyday we are open to eat.
