SOCIAL SUPERMARKET
A new project
A new project from Thrapston FoodBank will begin during the school Easter holidays, with a view to then running each following school holiday.
As additional support to our existing services, we are opening a Community Cafe and Social Supermarket. Refreshments will be available and open to all as part of our cafe, with
an area set up for little ones to play,
an arts and crafts area, along with
an area to just sit and chat amongst
friends. No charge will be made for refreshments but a donation pot will be available. We will also be offering a Social Supermarket for those who are struggling to afford food. A subscription of £3 per adult and £1 per child will give membership for each visit. Registration details will be required but these
can be taken on the day. Food products can then be selected, following guidelines, along with laundry, toiletries, cleaning and sanitary products, enough to meet your needs. We can
also offer advice with budgeting as well as signposting to other agencies for support
with making positive life changes. We are able to offer this because
of the support from the local community, along with local businesses, in particular DSV,
Morrisons and Waitrose.
The initial two sessions will run
on Thursdays 4th and 11th April at Thrapston Sports Association clubhouse on
Chancery Lane. Feel free to drop in anytime between 11am and 1pm. For more information please contact us on 07907 343373 or email thrapstonfoodbank@gmail.com
