Chelwood Food Bank Plus have three food banks in some of the most deprived areas of Stockport. They are based at Chelwood Baptist Church on Adswood Road in Cheadle Hulme, Brinnington Community Church on Northumberland Road, and Chelwood Community Hub on Castle Street in Edgeley. The charity is an emergency service, providing pre-packed food parcels, to support those in financial crisis and food poverty. Anyone who needs support can utilise this service up to a maximum of three visits, in a 13-week period.
Should you find that you are in need of longer-term support, Chelwood suggest that you consider joining a food club which they will be happy to discuss with you further, during your visit(s).
Three ways you can help.
- Donate the above items at the Co-Op stand before the AFC Wimbledon game, between 1pm and 2.45pm
- Visit their amazon wish list, where you can purchase items for Chelwood on-line: https://chelwoodfoodbankplus.org/donate
- Donate money direct to Chelwood on-line: https://www.paypal.com/gb/fundraiser/charity/3222057/
We thank anyone in advance who is able to donate to this cause on the day and help out those in need.
