A big thank you to the Fairview Rd Residents Association for their magnificent & very generous food drive which filled our secretary’s car twice over. The trustees volunteers & our clients would like to thank to everybody who donated, for taking time to care.

@asadfarooq20 No slightly different clients will be able to come to the food bank at their pre arranged time to pick up. Unfortunately we won’t be able to provide a delivery service this lockdown.

@StevenageFood Would like to query re this food bank during the upcoming lockdown. Presumably it won't go ahead for at least the foreseen month and the same instructions will apply?

@Stalbansdistfb We can cover Codicote, it’s one of those funny areas as it falls between us and Welwyn & Hatfield Foodbank. Can you get the client to email stevenagecommunityfoodbank@gmail.com and we will arrange delivery. Hope you are safe and well over in St Albans

@StevenageFood Do you cover codicote ? We've had someone approach us for help but its not our area. Many thanks

To all, have a Happy Easter

A big thank you to Lisa and the team at Holland & Barrett Stevenage for their lovely and large donation of Easter eggs. #welltogether

Fantastic sunset as we make food deliveries out in the villages and in the town. The trustees, volunteers and our clients would like to thank everybody who has supported us over our first two weeks of the Coronavirus lockdown.

If you have recently lost your job or your income has been severely affected by the Coronavirus, are a resident of Stevenage or the surrounding villages and waiting for universal credit You can apply for a Foodbank emergency food parcel via Citizens Advice website

@SharonStevenage @mrssarahmead They need our Sarah to sort out their boxes . Let’s hope they didn’t deliver any of those to people with diabetes. Also I hope they are checking with residents for food allergies.

This is shocking! Our local Foodbank @StevenageFood has worked so hard to provide healthy diets thanks to @mrssarahmead. These parcels are for the most vulnerable residents in our community, they must not only be healthy but also cater for medical dietary requirements.

If you email stevenagecommunityfoodbank@gmail.com will send contact details

Well that was a busy weekend. All our backlog now cleared by our amazing team of volunteers who have been out delivering to addresses across Stevenage and North Hertfordshire. We are now ready for what the week brings, referrals are open via the Stevenage Citizens Advice website
