Wonderful email from Claire Moore, headteacher
Woodcroft School regarding our funded day trip to the Zoo for their students.

Dear Pesh,
On behalf of everyone at Woodcroft School, I would like to extend our sincere thanks for your wonderful support from you and your team and making it possible for our pupils to visit Hertfordshire zoo.
The experience provided our pupils with so many valuable opportunities to develop their communication, social interaction, confidence and independence skills and just the most memorable day for all. For many of our children, these real-life experiences are incredibly important and create lasting memories as well as opportunities for learning that simply cannot be replicated in the classroom.
We were especially grateful for the wonderful lunch that was provided and for the kindness, patience and enthusiasm shown by your volunteers throughout the day. Their support helped to make the visit a truly positive and inclusive experience for all of our pupils.
Please convey my gratitude to everyone involved. Their generosity and commitment made a real difference, and we are extremely thankful for the warm welcome we received.

Thank you once again for your support.
With kindest regards,
Claire

๐Ÿ’š OUR EPPING COMMUNITY HUB IS MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE ๐Ÿ’š
Just a few weeks after opening, our new 3Food4U Epping Community Hub has become a vital lifeline for local people.
Every Friday, nearly 50 families now access our FREE Surplus Food Hub, helping put food on the table during increasingly challenging times. No referrals, no assessments, no judgement โ€“ just support when it's needed most.
But that's only part of the story.
Hundreds of local residents are also visiting our Community Supermarket and Charity Shop every week, where they can purchase affordable food, clothing, household items, toys, books and everyday essentials at a fraction of high street prices.
Our Hub is about much more than food. It's a place where people can connect, build friendships and improve their wellbeing. We are continuing to expand our programme of health and wellbeing activities, creating opportunities for people of all ages to stay active, learn new skills and combat loneliness.
By redistributing surplus food and donated goods, we're not only supporting local families but also preventing tonnes of perfectly good items from ending up in landfill โ€“ helping both people and the planet.
A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers, supporters, donors and community partners who have helped make this possible. Together, we're creating something special for Epping and the wider district.
๐Ÿ“ 3Food4U Epping Community Hub Europa House, Bower Hill, Epping CM16 7BN
๐Ÿ•˜ Open Monday-Saturday, 9am-4pm ๐ŸŽ Free Surplus Food Hub every Friday, 1pm-2pm ๐Ÿ› Charity Shop & Community Supermarket ๐Ÿค Volunteers always welcome
๐Ÿ’š HOW YOU CAN HELP ๐Ÿ’š
โœ… Visit our Charity Shop and Community Supermarket โœ… Donate quality clothing, household items and food โœ… Volunteer a few hours a week โœ… Tell friends, family and neighbours about our services โœ… Partner with us if you're a local business โœ…

Every donation, every volunteer hour, every share and every purchase helps us support more local families and keep our doors open for those who need us most.
Please like, comment and share this post to help us reach more people. Together, we can ensure nobody in our community has to face hardship alone.

๐ŸŒญโ˜€๏ธ A Huge Thank You to Ashbrook Court Care Home โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒญ
We had a wonderful afternoon at our volunteer BBQ, generously hosted and organised by the amazing team at Ashbrook Court Care Home.
A special thank you to Lorna Morey and the team for their incredible hospitality and ongoing support of 3Food4U. Events like this remind us how important community partnerships are in helping us support local people.
The afternoon was also an opportunity to recognise some of our incredible long-serving volunteers, who received 5-Year King's Award for Voluntary Service Crystal Replica Trophies and Service Appreciation Certificates in recognition of their dedication.
๐Ÿ’ฌ Lorna Morey said: "It was wonderful to celebrate the volunteers whose kindness and dedication make such a difference to so many lives."
We're always looking for new volunteers, community partners and supporters. If you'd like to get involved with our award-winning charity, we'd love to hear from you.
