When something just works, it can be easy to take it for granted – for several years those pantry shelves at the back of St Bons have been filled by volunteers and then emptied by those in need six days a week with seemingly clockwork simplicity! But when you stop to think about it, it’s quite an amazing thing. The beauty of the Community Food Pantry is that it runs on an honesty basis: people come to take whatever is available, when they most need it. And, even more amazingly, week by week our volunteers, parish members, school and local community show their kindness and generosity, enabling the whole endeavour to keep on going. We definitely don’t take your support for granted, and we know Pantry users don’t either. Thank you!
For those in need, the Pantry is open between 8am – 5pm every day, except Monday.
Please donate:
Christmas treats – selection boxes or other Christmassy things
Tinned vegan meals
Tinned meat meals
Cereal
Pesto

Dried lentils

Please DO NOT donate:
Fresh food (we can’t safely store it and it will go to waste)
Where do I leave food donations?
Please put food donations either in the clear box labelled “Community Food Pantry Donation Box” at the back of the church or in the box outside the front door of the Presbytery.
How do I donate money?
There is a “Food Pantry” button on the Donation Point inside the church if you would like to make monetary donations by card. Or you can give cash to Mgr Massey or put it in an envelope through Trish’s door at 55 Egerton Road.
Thank you all for your support!
