Half-term - no school...Isn't it brilliant !

Well, not if you're struggling to pay all the bills, and your children aren't getting the free school meals they enjoy during term time.

If that's you, then we can help out a little by giving you a free weekly lunchpack with no questions asked. Just pop into the Crossroads Centre ( opposite Meltham Post Office) between 10am and 12 pm Monday to Friday next week. It won't cover all your meals for the week, but it'll help.

Also, Meltham Morrisons are doing free breakfasts ( no purchase necessary) all week.

There's something extra special about food donations from schools at Harvest time...

Hrlme J&I school may be small, but they have such a big heart. Holmfirth Road CofE dug deep again and even helped deliver it.

Where would we be without them !

And our cup runneth over... again !

Earlier today, the Baptist Church on Mean Lane came to see us with their Harvest donation. Shortly after, Peter and Liz Pearson ( pictured ) brought the generous food collection ( and some cash ) from the much reduced congregations of Christ the King Helme and St. Mary's, Wilshaw.

They may not be the biggest local churches, but they've really come up with the goods for us.

Thank you so much - it helps us no end at a busy time of year

Everyone's so good to us at Harvest Festival time, but this is truly humbling

The photos are the collection from Meltham Methodists brought along by Alison and Lizanne, and the collection from St James', ( whoever brought that downstairs is probably flat on their back under the straining table )...

We don't get financial grants as such, so Harvest Festival time is so important to us. In recent years, all the local schools and churches have put us first, and it means so much to our volunteers and beneficiaries.

Bless you all !

Kids need to be entertained during the long summer holiday, snd it can cost a small fortune. They also miss out on the free school meals they enjoy in term time.

With that in mind, we're running our free lunchpack scheme again. Call in at the Crossroads Centre ( opposite the Post Office ) between 10 am and 12pm Mondays to Fridays and we'll give you a pack.

It won't feed the family through the week, but it'll certainly help.

We'd like to say a massive thank you to this month's foodbank hero Ann Jurczyszyn.

Ann has just finished her Mayoral year in office, and is now taking a well earned break. Before she handed over the reins to the next incumbent, she nominated us as her designated charity. Choosing us has been an absolute Godsend and helps keep us afloat for a bit longer. Every week, we need to shop on an industrial level, and this act of generosity buys us more time.

God bless you Ann !

It's half term again, and it stretches finances to the limit. Entertaining kids can cost a small fortune, and guess what - they still need feeding! And no free school meals...

Pop in to the Crossroads Centre this week between 10 and 1pm, and we'll give you a free lunch pack. It has bread, butter, cheese/ham/chicken, yogurts, fresh fruit, cereal bars and crisps. It won't look like the pictured hamper, but it'll help at a difficult time.

It seems like Christmas has just gone, and now it's Easter. The schools have broken up for a well earned holiday, but that also means no free school meals for kids. It costs a lot to keep children occupied, and with bills coming in, parents and carers are stretched to their limit.

If this is you, then please pop in to the Crossroads Centre weekdays ( apart from Good Friday and Easter Monday) between 10am and 1pm. We'll give you a pack with bread, butter, cheese/ham/chicken, yoghurts, cereal bars, crisps, apples, bananas and oranges.

It won't feed the five thousand, but it's a help...

Stop Press...If you pop into Morrisons cafe this week or next, they'll give you a free cereal and piece of fresh fruit !

Sometimes we take them for granted, but Morrisons and Morrisons Meltham Community Champion have been there for us through thick and thin.

Every fortnight, I get a call from them to tell me to go and collect a trolley full of customers' donations, and it's an absolute Godsend.

Thanks for all your do for us x

This is a hopeful appeal, but like people say " You don't ask, you don't get".

Five years ago, we were gifted an iPhone 6 for foodbank use. It's served us well, but five years is a long time in mobile technology. Basically it's helped us to do what we do, but it's a dinosaur now, and it won't update.

Is there anyone out there who has had an upgrade, and can donate their old iPhone to us?
