Steve’s Story
I came to the Foodbank this morning where I was helped out, I would just like to let all of you that are there even the ones I didn’t meet that the service that you offer is priceless as in my situation I was working but the company I was working for went into administration on 7 October and left me high and dry with no money and I ended up homeless with no money and no food and I used up all the help I could get from friends and family. I don’t get my first benefits payment till next week and without your help today I would have been starving, I don’t know how to thank you guys, but I have left my contact details so please call me if you need a hand doing anything, now or in the future. Many thanx
Greg’s Story
Hi there to all at the Hope Centre, aka food bank Lewisham, I have been meaning to send you a message for a while.
Just before the start of the holidays I was offered a food voucher by a teacher at my sons school which I reluctantly took as I felt I didn’t need it, but knew that at some point I would need it.
When I finally plucked up the courage to come to the food bank I got to the door and was greeted by a lovely lady. I was then seen by a gentleman and he was a total star. I would just like to commend all of who work so very hard at this organisation, you do the most amazing job and I would like you all to know I’m very grateful for all the help I received on that day.
