Offering food and support to people in need living in East Grinstead and the surrounding areas

We know that a lot of us struggle this time of year. Cold weather and shorter days mean higher energy bills, and less money for other essentials.

If you'd like to help this November, here's some ways you can support your local community:
🤝 Picking up a couple extra items to donate when you’re next at the shops – we have permanent donation spots at Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, and Lidl
🤝 Donating directly – you can do this by bank transfer, or by buying items for us via Give Today (links in bio). Any amount makes a huge difference, as we can bulk buy items
🤝 Sharing this post – with more reach we can gather more community support

Thank you.

To celebrate a new month, we wanted to introduce the Question of the Month!

This month, we’re discussing what’s in a typical food parcel.

Always containing at least three days’ worth of meals, parcels’ contents vary depend on donations. But we always aim to be nutritionally balanced, with parcels typically containing a mix of tinned vegetables, fruit, meat and beans. We also provide UHT milk, cereal, pasta and rice to help support energy needs.

Our team always try to support with additional toiletries, cleaning and pet supplies if possible.

If you’d like to support us, please consider donating next time you’re in store at Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, or Lidl, or online via our shop with Give Today.

What question should we answer next month? Let us know in the comments!

This is our Single Person Bundle, which contains the majority of items needed for one person visiting the foodbank. This includes basics like rice, tinned vegetables, tinned meat and long-life milk.

Navigating crisis is scary, and even more so when doing it alone. We help make sure people are met with dignity and compassion.

Please consider buying one of these Bundles online on our Give Today shop (👉 https://givetoday.co.uk/egfoodbank/ ), to support someone in need today. The link to the Single Person bundle is in the comments below.

Thank you!

Ever wondered what goes into our emergency boxes?

Emergency boxes exist to help those in immediate food crisis. They are pre-packed and stored in our warehouse, ready to go when needed.

Our boxes contain at least 3 days’ worth of food, to help someone left without enough money to live on.

If you’d like to support these boxes, please consider donating non-perishable food such as cereal, tinned vegetables and fruit, and UHT milk in-store at Sainsbury’s, Waitrose and Lidl in East Grinstead. You can also donate directly online, with the links in our bio.

Thank you 💚
