Thank you!

10th March 2019

Thank you to all who have recently supported collections for Aston and Nechells Foodbank.  Thanks to the generosity of shoppers at Aston Lane Tesco, the collection on Friday 22nd February brought in a total of 532.7 kg of food along with cash donations.

To give an idea of how important this support is, so far in this financial year (April 2018 to end of March 2019) we have helped over 3200 people experiencing crises.  This is the highest number of people requesting help since the Foodbank opened in November 2011.
We have kept up with demand but any help you can give with cash or food donations (in particular tinned tomatoes, coffee, long life milk and fruit juice, tinned meat, packet soups and toiletry items will be much appreciated.
The next opportunity to donate food items (or money) will be before Aston Villa Home game on Saturday 16th March 13.00 – 14.45.   Collection points will be outside Aston Villa Church, Witton Lane, Aston B6 6QA and Birchfield Gospel Hall, Trinity Rd Aston, B6 6NT.
