ALDI MARKET RASEN - GALLAMORE LANE

Community Action for All (CAFA), in connection with Caistor Methodist Church and the We Are ONE Foundation in Grimsby have established Caistor Food Bank. The food bank offers help to local people in crisis, who may be referred by specialist agencies such as social services, GP surgeries, schools and care centres, or simply people who have found themselves struggling particularly at this time. Our Caistor food bank sessions run on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 11am to 2pm from the Caistor Methodist Hall. We offer a range of produce and emergency staple products including sanitary and hygiene products, tinned, ambient and fresh foods, and we have a full Covid restriction framework which is followed by our volunteers. As with other We Are ONE supplied food banks, people wishing to use the service will need to go onto the We are ONE Foundation website and register. All information is be kept confidential and only used for food bank purposes. If Internet access is not easily available, registration can be made at the door; and if getting to the Methodist Hall in Caistor is an issue, we hope to find a way to get goods out to home addresses. We realise deciding to approach a food bank can be daunting, however everyone will be dealt with respect and confidentiality. Sadly due to necessity food bank recipients should be prepared to bring proof of furlough, benefits, or eligibility for support etc. However, this can be talked through on a first visit to ensure there are no misunderstandings.

His Church provide ethical, sustainable, full transport and logistics, charitable solutions for major manufacturers and supermarkets residual stock. Including food, pet food, clothes, and supplies (toys, personal hygiene, domestic cleaning products) which we redistribute to help vulnerable people at home and abroad. His Church distributes both directly and through a network of around 3,000 Charitable organisations who help vulnerable people in the UK, including Foodbanks, Homeless Outreaches, Children’s Charities, Cancer Support, Women’s Aid Refuges, Schools and Football Club Community Trusts. Although His Church started 15 years ago with an £8 supermarket voucher, our Operations and Logistics Centre is now a 50,000 sq ft Aircraft Hangar in Lincolnshire, which is the biggest of its type in Europe according to the BBC! His Church have provided over 5 million meals to help people made vulnerable by the Coronavirus crisis as well as feeding over 10,000 healthcare professionals with fresh fruit and veg which was in short supply particularly at the start of the first lockdown. His Church’s Charity President was awarded an MBE for this achievement in the most recent Queen’s Birthday Honours list.
