New Kitchen Sink Appeal

With over 100 hot meals served each week, there is a lot of washing up to do - and, sadly our current setup is not fit for purpose - meaning we spend more time washing up than helping those in need. Please help us upgrade our kitchen sink!

We are St John’s Soup Kitchen and Food Bank, and we are more than just food. We provide emergency food and hot meals, clothing, signposting, support, friendship and a warm welcome to our guests.

Story

In the words of our guests:

“Without the Food Bank I’d be in [bad] terms, in a bad street. This is a place to meet new people; when I first came here I didn’t know no-one. The volunteers are friendly.”

“Without this place you’d be hungry every day. If you don’t eat you get sick and die.”

“We are asylum seekers. We [each] get £9 per week [from the government]. We live in a hotel. They give us food there but the food has no taste. We only live on the food from the Food Bank. We get fresh food here and cook it in friends’ homes. Without it life wouldn’t be that easy: food outside is very expensive.”

The donations will help us buy a new sink and covers the installation and setup as well. Every little bit helps, so please consider donating!
