Horsham Matters Foodbank

When it began in 2014, the foodbank provided 119 individual food parcels a month.  Currently it is providing 800 individual parcels a month - and this in the more prosperous part of the country.
 
Our foodbank needs the following items of food: tinned potatoes, instant mash, long-life custard, small bags of sugar, general cleaning items and washing up liquid. Recently, someone said, "When I have felt like I had nothing or no-one, Horsham Matters has been there."
 
Please continue to help people through the Horsham Food Bank and make use of the food-bank container in the church Reception.  Thank you.
