Where our money goes

All contributions are donated to the St Albans & District Foodbank (part of the Trussell Trust charity). The St Albans Foodbank helps to provide food parcels and emergency food supplies to residents in need, in St Albans and all surrounding towns and villages. Below are some quotes from individuals needing the charity:

"I don't know what would have happened without the foodbank...it was my saving grace...they changed my life' 

'"It's a place where you feel welcome and not ashamed. You know other people are in the same boat and it's alright. You're not on your own'"

"They have been there at my worst times. When I broke down in the foodbank crying, they were there for me" 

"There's a sense of community in the foodbank...and they made me feel like there was no reason to be ashamed...they were always being careful and sensitive'

And from the charity:

"Incredibly, some 350 three day parcels were distributed in the district in the last week alone! Your donation helps make this possible and on behalf of those who seek our help, thank you".
