Facebook post 30th August 2021

Saturday was very bust this week, as we helped a total of 110 families with three days of food, including non-perishable items as well as fresh fruit and vegetables, bread, eggs and cheese. Many thanks to those who support us financially, as these funds enable to supply a wide variety of items every week. Domations of food are also invaluable to us, as this means that we do not have to source items from other avenues. We are very grateful to all our supporters. 💙Please note, we are not at the foodbank on Wednesdays in August.💜 This week we welcomed 15 new households to Finchley Foodbank. This week and are short of: - rice, in any size as we portion - sanitary towels, we have enough tampons - pasta sauces - biscuits We have enough of everything else for this week, so if you can concentrate on these items that would be fabulous, so that we are able to give all of our clients these basic items. Every donation makes a difference, big or small. Please check your donations are in date as we have vulnerable clients. We are able to accept donations from members of the public on Friday 12-3pm in the church hall behind St Mary's Church, 279 High Road East Finchley N2 8HG. Collection points are also available in the Sainsburys Local High Road East Finchley N2 and Martyn Gerrard 365 Regents Park Road N3. Please observe the 2 metre distance rule whilst on the premises and try not to touch anything. To the left of the church is a drive way, walk down it and leave your donation on the table ahead of you. Please don't come inside the hall. If you are in isolation, but want to support us we have an online giving page. https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/charity-web/charity/displayCharityCampaignPage.action?campaignId=13022 You can also support us by liking and sharing this message, to increase it's visibility on Facebook.
