East Grinstead Foodbank
1. We need Food!  Donate online at givetoday.co.uk please 
We are really struggling with plummeting donation levels – but doing our best to continue to serve local people in need. We have just passed the point of giving OUT £6,000 more food stock than we have received IN this year!
Givetoday.co.uk is our easy online food donation platform (to donate money, click here). Donations are delivered straight to our door! Of course, we still love collecting food from our baskets at Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Lidl. If donating this way, please download the bankthefood app to see what we need. Donations can also be dropped off at the Jubilee Centre. Thank you so much!
2. We need Your Help! 
We have two highly rewarding volunteer positions to fill:
 Monday team – Reception / Laptop Operator role:
As our first visitor contact point, you will provide a kind, compassionate welcome and support the Team Leader with administration throughout our busy sessions.
Wednesday team – Reception / Warehouse role:
You will feel like you are making a real difference as you use your empathy and listening skills while chatting to our visitors, or get busy in the warehouse packing bags.
4. We need Prayer! 
As we seek to alleviate hunger today by providing emergency food, please pray for hearts to be moved to donate food for those in need. Please also pray to end hunger forever through just systems and support for everyone who needs it.
God’s call in Micah 6:8 – to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly – is about supporting people when they are in crisis and seeking justice by influencing people in power, while serving one another humbly and inclusively.
