Right now, local families are facing the impossible choice between putting food on the table and covering life’s basic essentials, and many are going without.
Horsham Matters, who supports our community through 15 weekly foodbanks across the district, is urgently appealing for food donations as stocks have fallen to critically low levels. With demand expected to increase over the summer holidays, support from local churches is needed more than ever.
Summer is always a particularly challenging time for many families. When schools close, access to free school meals disappears, and this year families are expected to be especially impacted due to the withdrawal of holiday voucher provision. Demand for foodbank services is likely to rise sharply.
Every donation helps provide practical support and hope to families facing hardship across our district.
If you would like to support this vital work, please visit the Horsham Matters Donation Page for more information. You can help by:
- Donating money through their online Donation Page.
- Donating food at the Horsham Matters Community Hub at 1 Redkiln Close, Horsham, RH13 5QL or whenever you are shopping, please consider purchasing an extra item and placing it in the designated donation area to help support those in need (see Website for details, including latest food requirements.)
