About our foodbank
Here is an introduction to our project.
First opened in April 2013, our Foodbank provides 3-day emergency food packs to the most vulnerable residents of Hertsmere. We are aligned to the Trussell Trust, providing well-balanced and nutritional food to our service users, as well as offering other essentials including toiletries and other household goods, so that we can provide those people with dignity during their difficulties. We undertake other specific projects to help alleviate the hardship of our clients, including the provision of clothing, blankets, fuel vouchers, and heaters amongst other items. We also provide family lunches during school holidays.
We offer our clients holistic support, providing numerous resources on-site, with access to services including Citizens Advice, The British Red Cross, and Healthy Hubs. These activities are particularly beneficial, providing clients not just with ‘hand-outs’ but also with a vital ‘hands-up’.
All of this takes place at St Teresa’s Church Hall, 291 Shenley Road, Borehamwood WD6 1TG
