Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

St Catherine's minibus is more than just a set of wheels—it’s a lifeline for our community, delivering essential food, human contact, and connections across the Wakefield District. Every mile it travels brings critical resources and care to those who need it most, making a real difference to the lives of the vulnerable and isolated. Here’s what your support can keep rolling:

Food for Today, Hope for Tomorrow: Every week, our minibus collects surplus food from supermarkets and food suppliers, to ensure shelves are stocked not just at our Emergency Food Store but across a network of other emergency food providers in Wakefield. This vital service feeds families facing hardship, helping them rebuild with dignity and security.

Meals That Mean the World: For those unable to cook for themselves, due to age or infirmity, our minibus delivers more than hot meals—it delivers the reassurance that someone cares. With every delivery, we’re fighting hunger and isolation, one doorstep at a time.

Bridging the Gap: For elderly and vulnerable individuals, our minibus is a bridge to independence, transporting them to our Elderly Day Care Service. It’s not just a ride—it’s a way back to the world.

But our minibus is breaking down—literally. Rising repair costs, frequent breakdowns, and safety concerns are making it harder to keep up with growing demand. Without a reliable, accessible vehicle, our ability to deliver this lifeline to the Wakefield District is under threat.

Your Support Can Keep Us Moving Forward

With a new, modern minibus, we can go further, faster, and serve more people than ever before. Your sponsorship will help us:

Feed More Families: Reach even more emergency food providers and ensure no household goes without.

Deliver More Meals: Bring nourishment and care to more individuals in need.

Bring More People Together: Connect those isolated within their community and the services they rely on.

This Isn’t Just a Minibus—It’s a Vehicle for Change

Your donation isn’t just buying a vehicle. You’re powering a movement that ensures no one in our community is left behind. Every journey it makes will carry your contribution to building a stronger, more compassionate Wakefield District.

Help us keep hope on the road. Together, we can transform lives, one trip at a time.
