Our warehouse heroes are gearing up for a well-deserved Christmas break! The outpouring of food donations over the past month has left us utterly amazed. Now, it's time for our warehouse teams to recharge! We'll be open on Thursday & Friday from 10-12 for any last-minute food donations, then taking a short break until Tuesday 2nd January. After that, we're back to our regular schedule, accepting donations Mon-Fri from 10-12. Don't forget, you can also conveniently drop off items in collection baskets at most local supermarkets. We have collection points at Tesco Cam & Stroud, Waitrose Stroud, Sainsbury's Stroud and most local co-ops across the district. A heartfelt thank you to everyone for your incredible support and generosity! #SeasonOfGiving #CommunityLove #ThankYouForCaring

Update on the Stroud District Foodbank Team
Sue Beattie will be stepping down from her role as Operations Manager in late July, having been on staff since January 2016. The Foodbank in the Stroud District wouldn’t be where it is today without her servant-hearted, practical and compassionate leadership. It’s difficult to quantify the impact she’s had whilst in post, she’s consistently gone […]
