St Peter's Foodbank Lockdown Challenge

Can You Help?

We know that Foodbanks are really needed during the time leading up to Christmas.

What we’d like you to do is to find a box or bag to collect food for the foodbank and during the 4 weeks of lockdown to put any items you can in the bag - each time you put an item in the bag – pray for the work of the Foodbank and for the families using the service.

At the end of the 4 week period – just phone either of the numbers below and we will collect your donations.

We’ll pool all the donations – take photos – so we can all see how much we’ve collected and then take them to the Foodbank!

Message from Joy Moss - from Replenish the Stourbridge branch of the Foodbank:

"It is seven months since the start of restrictions and we have just been so blessed by what you have achieved over that period for the Black Country Foodbank.

Throughout it all, you have organised, and with your team, collected the donations of food and toiletries and then delivered it all to us at OLAS. It is very appreciated.

Many, many thanks, Joy from Replenish."
