Mission Statement
About the Food Bank
Wantage and Grove Food Bank is a practical, community-based project organised by local churches which provides food parcels to those in our area. The Food Bank is intended to provide short-term emergency help to people who find themselves for whatever reason (for example job-loss, benefit problems, ill-health etc.) unable to feed themselves or their families.
Thank you
The Food Bank is entirely dependent on voluntary help and donations of food or money. For over ten years it has been generously supported in the community and the Committee would like to thank all the donors, including those who have given anonymously.
Surplus funds
Should the Foodbank be in the fortunate position of having surplus funds, the Committee may, on occasion, use these to make a donation to other nearby foodbanks in need, or in exceptional circumstances, to help clients with other necessities for daily living (under the guidance of, and in partnership with, the referring agency).
