SAINT WILFRID’S INVOLVEMENT WITH THE DONCASTER FOODBANK

Saint Wilfrid’s Church first started to contribute to the Foodbank in February 2014, following its opening to the people of Doncaster in September 2013.   In our first full year of involvement, we literally helped to feed 5,000 people in Doncaster with our contributions!  During 2017, our congregation donated some 366 kilos of food.   Below are pictures of our pre-Christmas contribution.

Contributions are still urgently needed, so please keep donating during 2018.

Here is some information about the Doncaster Foodbank:

• The Foodbank is designed to help individuals and families in crisis through the provision of emergency food supplies.
• Local care professionals in Doncaster refer people with a food voucher to the Foodbank Centre.   Here they are given their food supplies, a cup of coffee and help in finding other professionals who can help them out of their crisis.
• The Foodbank allows the general public to contribute to and support local well-being in a simple, practical way
