We have had a number of enquiries about the Food bank. As you know, because of the current pandemic, we no longer have our collection box in use at St Andrew’s, however there are some ways you can still help out below.
There are food donation points direct to the Tenterden Family Food Bank situated at:
Non-perishable foodstuffs are always needed, so please remember to drop a tin or a packet into the box, when you are passing one of the donation points. Desperately needed: long-life milk, tinned meats, tinned potatoes, coffee, tea and jam, and also washing machine gel pods/tablets. Also, nappies, baby wipes and personal hygiene products. Donated food is collected, sorted and packed into Foodbank boxes which are then distributed to local families, couples or individuals to provide emergency help for 5 (or 3) days.
If you cannot donate food, please consider giving money to the Foodbank. The best way is by Bank transfer, please use the reference “Tenterden”. Details here:
