FOOD FOR FAMILIES
Food for Families started in 2021 as a response to the increasing cost of living. We aim to support families in the Abbeydore Deanery area who have children at primary school.
WHO WE HELP AND HOW
We support families with primary school aged children who need extra help providing food for their families during school holidays.
We collaborate with the staff at the schools to offer some families a hamper of food at the start of the Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays.
The Primary Schools included in the Abbeydore Deanery area are:
Clehonger, Clifford, Ewyas Harold, Kingstone, Longtown, Madley, Michaelchurch and Peterchurch
