Report written by Kate Haworth
On a hot and sweaty Friday we were glad to find the lift working at the Voices of Hope Centre for us to help move boxes from the third floor down to the ground floor and load them into the vans for their delivery. It was amazing to see the mountains of boxes stacked up to be given to those most vulnerable people in need of food in Kingston. We are grateful to help such a fantastic project to pack boxes of food for families in our area. Come out to join us next Friday where more help will be needed! 💪🏼📦
In the midst of the current crisis we shall continue to seek to be a voice of hope to all. We are working closely with Kingston Council and Kingston Voluntary Action. We have been designated responsibility as a central food distribution point for the whole of Kingston borough, with the aim of providing support to the most vulnerable in our community including the homeless, the isolated and those whose income is inadequate to meet their daily needs. We shall be undertaking this for a 12-week period starting on Monday 12th March. Practically, this means: - preparing thousands of hot meals for those unable to do so (10,000 to date!) - preparing packages of essential foodstuffs and basic aid for those who most need them - providing a delivery service to as many of the 18,000 people aged 70+ in Kingston as possible
