We are more than food

2nd July 2023

Elmbridge is one of the wealthiest places in the UK

East Elmbridge food bank shouldn’t need to exist, but we do.

Because Elmbridge is the 9th most unequal borough in England*.

And because over 12% of our children are living in poverty*.

We all need more than food to thrive.

That’s why in these particularly challenging times, we are launching our more than food campaign.

 

East Elmbridge food bank exists to help people find solutions and hope.

As well as emergency food parcels, we give fuel grants, advice and support to people in crisis.

We advocate for those who need it; and we want to see no man, woman or child, going hungry in East Elmbridge.

 

We are always in need of food donations but this year in particular we are asking people to consider giving a financial gift.

Your giving will go towards the costs of meeting with those in need, building relationships and trust so that we are able to help them find the support they need to move forward with their lives.

We are pleased to be able to say that we are partnering with Citizens Advice Esher and District to make it possible for every single guest at our food bank over the next three years to receive financial advice and support.

 

We are more than food
We are relationships
We are love
We are support
We are hope

 

Giving £5 is like buying something in your weekly shop this month – and lets us choose what we need!

Giving £15 could cover the cost of a support meeting for a client in need

 

When you give, we can give more

Support your community, Give hope, Give today
