Another voluntary initiative providing a lifeline to people struggling to feed their families launches on Friday 24th July. St John's Summer Café will operate from 12 noon to 2pm on Fridays during the school holidays. Visitors will be given one bag with a hot meal of their choice (veggie option available) as well as a sandwich for later in the day and a dessert and hot drink - all to take away in these Covid-19 times. Families welcome.Free food on Mondays too!
St Monica's Catholic Church has been providing free food on Monday afternoons since early April and continues to do so.
Fresh food items to take home, including fresh fruit and vegetables, are available between 3pm and 5pm at St Monica's Large Hall (Intimate Theatre) in Green Lanes - just past the junction with Bourne Hill.
Donations of food are welcome and can be dropped off on a Monday from 11am to 1pm under the canopy of the front double doors of St Monica’s Large Hall.
St Monica's also has a weekly food distribution and soup run on Mondays, which is in need of the following donations: dried pasta, rice, tinned fish, biscuits, tinned soup, tinned vegetables. Please leave donations under the Large Hall canopy between 1-3pm on Mondays, or in the box in the porch during church opening hours, or at the parish office.
