Food Bank...
JIGSAW FOODBANK
We offer support to people in the local area who for a variety of reasons find that they are struggling to feed themselves and their families. You do not need to be in receipt of benefits to access this support.
We can provide emergency support in the form of a crisis parcel or ongoing weekly food parcels for an agreed period of time. Receiving a food parcel can help take the pressure off finances and enable individuals, couples or families to deal with other issues they might have to contend with.
Crisis Parcel
If you are in need of a one off emergency food parcel to be collected from The Lime Tree then please email hello@churchinthepeak.org or phone 01629 584 783.
