Dine With Us Community Larder Supporting Anyone In Need, Bedford, UK

Happy Halloween everyone! We are looking for food collectors for the next 8 weeks as it is our busiest period. We have also taken on additional shops as our food volumes have plummeted so we need to get as much food as we can to fulfill our commitments to those we help. Food collections are easy as you go to the shops, collect and then drop straight to our unit. A great way to help out and nothing more for you to deal with! We need help on Thursdays (9.15pm) Fridays (9pm), Saturdays (8.45pm) and Sundays (4.15pm) so please message in so you can help us help those in our community.

People have been begging us to restart Tuesdays, every week someone asks, but we just don't have the right help in place to restart how we would like to and we firmly believe if you can't do something properly, don't do it at all.....BUT we will be open every Tuesday at 2pm for hot food, sweet treats and a drink for those in need.

It is so sad to have to say we don't have enough volunteers on a Tuesday to help you out, heartbreaking but we will do this every week up to 15th December.

We will have pasta bake to warm you up served with side salad. Pudding is home made rice pudding.

Bring tubs and you will get some hot food and a pud.

Weather is going to be stormy but we are still here for you. Open Saturday (today) 1.30pm (for families with children) 2pm all others. A selection of photos from our last free foodbank where we served chicken curry, chicken casserole, cheesey pasta, served with a side salad and coleslaw. Pudding was home made rice pudding with golden syrup drizzle 😋 and a variety of sponges or mince pies and cream. No referral needed, just join the queue IF you are in need of food and struggling to feed yourself or your family.

This is our epic free foodbank offering. This week we have chicken stir fry noodles, meatball pasta bake, hot dogs, mac n cheese (with or without ham) all served with side salad and coleslaw. Pudding is home made rice pudding or cakes with cream. We have a fabulous core team who are consistently here and we would love some more of you so please do get in touch if you can spare 2 hours once a month, that is all we ask, in order for us to remain reliable and to be there for those in our community who need us. Cooks also needed. Between 10.30 - 12.30 to help set up, between 1.30 and 3.30 to help hand out food and between 4 and 5 to help clear down.

To confirm. Families with children from 1.30pm and 2pm for everyone else. We serve until around 3/3.30pm. Please share this on your page as you never know who is struggling. It could be someone close to you.

Bring bags and tubs and you will get a great selection of goodies to take home to keep you going for a good few days!

Not one person or company has messaged in with a quote and this is now urgent. Please please share so we don't lose this shelving 🙏 . Thank you

Hi Everyone. We have been offered some much needed shelving! We need help though to get it to us. 1.6miles is the distance, so not far from us at all but we do need a Luton van with tail lift or larger. Please could we have some quotes and this is to be done Monday, possibly Tuesday but Monday is preferred. Please share, share, share so we don't miss out. Thank you everyone.
