In 2015 members of St Peter’s felt led to start a foodbank to serve families in Yaxley and the surrounding villages. Over the past 11 years we have been able to support hundreds of families with food in their time of need. This has been made possible because of the generosity of St Peter’s members and the wider community, with donations of food and money.

We are proud to be one of the many thousands of churches throughout the country offering foodbank services. Over 50% of foodbanks in the UK are run by churches and we are very keen to support our village and community in a positive and practical way. We believe this is in obedience to the Word of God where Jesus clearly calls us to feed the hungry and help and support those in need.

The number of families turning to us for help is increasing, yet the volume of donations has fallen. We make no apology for continuing to ask for donations – if our foodbank is to continue, we need more support.

Please prayerfully consider if you could increase your donations of either food or
money or become a foodbank volunteer. The Foodbank can only take non-perishable foods, and we urgently need more donations to meet demand.

Please speak to Sarah, Paul, Mark, Debbie or Pauline and Steve for details of how
to make a financial donation.

We will be promoting St Peter’s Foodbank at the Co-op store on Friday 24th July, please come along and support us with a donation or just a friendly chat and a smile.

Remember - “If you can - when you can – donate a can”
Thank you for supporting St Peter’s foodbank over many years.
