Informal food bank

Give what you can

Take what you need

Voucher-free food bank

Mindful of the effects that soaring prices are having on everybody, we have started an informal food bank at St Mary's. It's a free resource for the local community. There's no need for a voucher and you don't need to register to be eligible - it's there so that anybody struggling to afford food and household basics can take what they need. The church is open 24/7 so you can pop in any time without having to let anyone know.
