โ—Regular food bank users, please take note of the reminder:

For the next 3 weeks our food bank is on pause. Due to staff working remotely, we are taking the opportunity to allow food bank stocks to replenish and grow so regular collections have been reallocated.

Fresh collections will be continuing between Wednesday’s and Friday’s but please call or email the office to check if there is anything to collect.

We apologise again for any inconvenience this break may have caused you and will do our best to fit you into the next available slot.

6 food parcels and an update to our system

This week’s food bank we saw 6 food parcels distributed to families in need across Bolton ๐Ÿ’™

Small update to the service:
3 of the people we had booked on to collect on Friday we had to re-assign to people on our waiting list due to no-contact-no-shows. We understand if you struggle to get to us on the day due to transport or scheduling issues but if you don’t let us know reasonably in advance parcels will be re-allocated to those who can make it in to collect. This isn’t the first time this happened so unfortunately we’re going to have to be stricter with no-shows in future, we’re only a small organisation with limited resources, we run on a trust system and no shows like this have a big impact on our service and staffs time.
