Pop In Place Food Crisis Support
The Pop In Place have a Food Crisis Project.
We have gained some limited funding to provide one off crisis packs for people in the Parish in a critical situation, with no food.
We ask for donations of money, rather than food so that we can be very specific about what is put into the packages, ensuring it is of most use.
If you need this service please email popinplace@gmail.com in confidence, and we will help.
