Based at St Mary’s Church, Todmorden Food-Drop is the second food bank to open in the Calder Valley. Serving primarily the people of Todmorden, Hebden Royd and surrounding area, the Food Drop-In is open every Saturday morning from 9.30am to noon.
Currently they are seeing, on average, 100 people each week.
Their aims are:
- To provide 3 days emergency food aid for people in crisis who struggle to afford it
- To provide hot drinks and food at the times they are open
- To collect donations of food, other items and money from individuals, charities and businesses
- To offer support, including signposting to other agencies who can help
- To gather information about the people using the Food Drop-In so they can campaign and highlight the issues of poverty in the area
They need £5 per parcel to cover food purchases. If you could help, please make cheques payable to Todmorden Food Drop-In. Donations, one–off or regular, can be made direct to their account at Yorkshire Bank, Todmorden, account no. 39388464, sort code 05-09-59.
If you would like a Food Drop-In volunteer to come and talk to you and your work colleagues or to any group or organisations you may be a member of about our work and how you could help, please contact: todfooddropin@btinternet.com
