COVID-19 Coronavirus – Important Update!

17th March 2020

Our Foodbank will remain open, but we are having to change the way we operate due to the on-going coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis.

We are expecting an increase in demand for foodbank support as the impact of the coronavirus takes hold. We are committed to keeping the foodbank operating for as long as we can but we are going to have to make some changes to the way that we operate.

  *   Clients will no longer be able to enter the foodbank, they will be asked to queue outside and present their voucher to a team member at the door.
  *   We will have pre-packed food packages which will be issued to clients.
  *   We will not be able to allow clients to choose from our shopping list as we would normally do, nor will we offer the option to change items.

For the time being, we aim to keep the foodbank open at the usual times (Tuesday 12:30-2:30pm and Thursday 12:30-2:30pm) but this may change if food runs out, or if we are unable to staff the foodbank with volunteers. We will keep you updated as the situation changes.

 

Thank you. Strange times!
