🐣 A big Hope Food thank you to Leanne, Ellie and the rest of the team at council contractors Equans for their fantastic donations.

Equans donated £300, which was used to buy fresh milk for families in need in the Falcon Lodge area, and also kindly donated Easter eggs for Hope Food to distribute to Falcon Lodge families over the next few days.

Reddicap Cllr Richard Parkin is pictured with volunteer Mary after dropping off the eggs at Hope Food HQ this morning.

A big thank you to Hope Food volunteer Celeste Clark for raising funds for Hope Food in the forthcoming Royal Sutton Fun Run on May 31st.

If you are taking part in the Fun Run please do consider choosing Hope Food as your nominated charity.

Hope Food provides essential support to the most disadvantaged members of our local community. Anyone experiencing hardship can pop into Hope Food’s warm and welcoming community foodbank events where they can collect fresh fruit, vegetables and bread and receive a bag of long life food.

A big thank you to Four Oaks Primary School for thinking of us last week. After their recent building works they had some food catering items they needed to clear out so rather than throw it away they reached out to us and of course we said yes please. Some of this has already been distributed to our foodbank visitors, some items we have split into smaller portions to pop into the 300 weekly bags we hand out and some we have passed onto to partner groups we work with. These groups will be able to use things like the large bag of cookie mix and cans of tomato paste in the meals they cook and distribute to the homeless community.

Nothing goes to waste with Hope Food we always find a home for anything donated to us. We work with many other vital organisations supporting vulnerable individuals and families across Sutton Coldfield and Birmingham.

So thank you 🙏.

Another lovely delivery of rice and pasta this time courtesy of Asda Queslett. Many thanks to Michaela the Community Campio at the store for popping by and dropping it off for us. As we’re making nearly 300 bags of longlife food each week we do get through a lot of rice and pasta each week. So thank you Asda for your continued support.

Just picked up a trolley load of rice & pasta donated by Asda. These will go straight into our staple bags containing long life food that every visitor to our 3 weekly food banks receives each week.

We are now making up around 290 staple bags each week & each one contains 2 items to make a meal - so either pasta & pasta sauce or rice & a sauce/stir fry packet.

It’s no wonder our stocks were running low. So if your out & about this week please do consider popping some rice or pasta into one of our donation bins. We really could do with topping up shelves ☺️.

Thank you Asda for your continued support.

*** WE NEED YOUR HELP ***

Let's face it, times are difficult right now even more so for struggling individuals and families.
January can be especially challenging, as the winter months bring added difficulties.

Food banks become a vital lifeline, and are depended on more than ever and whilst we focus on helping people, we must also remember their beloved pets. These furry companions bring comfort and joy, especially during tough times.❤️
We’re reaching out to our wonderful community for any donations of pet food and treats! Any tins, dried biscuits or those treats sat at the back of your cupboard that probably won't get used.

Every contribution helps ensure that pets in need are also cared for and loved. 💖

We'd love it if you'd be able to help us this January and donate if you can.
If you’d like to help, please drop off any donations at the salon.

If you have any questions please contact us on 07749 121180

Please, lets support our local community and their beloved pets ❤️

Thank you for your generosity! 🌟🐶🐱

A big thank you to Alison Matthews , staff and customers of the Walsall Road branch of Boots UK who have been donating and collecting lots of lovely toiletries for us. We had a bumper donation before Christmas and now we have had another couple of very full bags from them.

Whilst we focus on provided food either from surplus vegetables and fruit or long life food we do also try and have at each of our food banks some of the other essentials families need. But this in only possible if we receive donations like this. So thank you everyone at Boots for continuing to support us.

If you have any unwanted Christmas gifts that just don’t hit the mark, or have a pack of nappies in an unwanted size. Maybe your hubby has decided to grow a beard and no longer needs the shower gel you got on a 3 for 2 offer. Then please consider dropping it in one of our donation points.

*Un opened and not part used items only please.*
*Long life food donations should be in date*

Now that the snow has almost disappeared lots of lovely people are popping a donations of unwanted Christmas chocolates and treats. Pictured is Jo from Sutton Coldfield Slimming World with Jo who has encouraged her ladies to donate to Hope Food and she brought in a £30 donation as well.

Thank you Jo and the Slimming World ladies.

So if you have a jar of cranberry sauce or packet of stuffing with a short best before date. Or maybe you’ve started the year with good intentions to steer clear of chocolate and biscuits then please do pop along and place them into one of our donation points. We’ll make sure they go to someone who is struggling right now to use right now.

Thank you ☺️

Hope everyone is keeping safe and well. Sorry we had to close today’s Mere Green food bank today but the safety of our visitors and volunteers was very important.

If you normally visit us on a Friday we will be holding a one-off replacement food bank on Sunday between 3pm to 4 pm. Usual place.

09/01/2026

Morning. Sadly due to the weather there will be no Friday food bank in Mere Green today.

Stay safe everyone & see you next week.
