Food bank’s call for help to renew lease
BUSINESSES are being asked to dig deep to help a local food bank hang on to its premises for a fur- ther three years. The Community Storehouse op-
erates from the Wesley Centre, in Commercial Road, Paddock Wood, and has food collection centres at a number of local churches, includ- ing East Peckham and Yalding, as well as at Paddock WoodWaitrose. Much of this year’s harvest col- lection from St Peter and St Paul Primary School, Yalding as well as from the church, was also donated to the food bank, which provides food parcels to the needy in the local community. The food bank was started by a
group of friends, initially supply- ing food parcels on special occa- sions to those in need. It moved into the former church
in September 2013, where it is man- aged and staffed by volunteers who help to gather and distribute the food parcels. It became a regis- tered charity earlier this year. Chairman CarltonAndrews said: “In the past, the wider family usu-

ally lived close by and they would rally round when therewas a prob- lem. However family structures have changed, employment levels are down andwe are in challenging times which affect every family budget, every home's food cup- board and finances. “Some families struggle as the
week's or month's funds run dry. This problem affects an increasing number of people, from the elderly who live alone to large families and single parents.” The charity’s temporary lease
came to an end in September this year and it now has to raise the nec- essary funds to stay in the centre
for a further three years – £24,000. Mr Andrews said: “Since open-
ing in the Wesley Centre in Sep- tember 2013 we have received 17.3 tonnes of food and given out 15.6 tonnes. This equates to 7 to 8 households helped everyweek. “We believe there will be a con- tinuing need for food banks, unfor- tunately, both locally and nationally, and it is prudent for us to plan to be at the Wesley Centre for at least the next three years.” To discuss how you or your com-
pany can sponsor the Storehouse, or contribute financially, email rentappeal@communitystore-
