Due to the ongoing Covid-19 emergency, the Heston and Cranford community have come together to help feed the vulnerable in our community. This pop up foodbank delivery service is being led by Heston West Big Local and Cranford Community College. The initiative is being supported by our partners Berkeley Academy, Heston Royal British Legion, Heston Action Group, Chartwells, Addison Lee Cabs, Morrisons (Brentford) and Seema Malhotra MP Feltham and Heston.
We have been able to secure the supply of food from Chartwells but we need money to buy the food. Each household is receiving a pack of food to the value of between £40 and £50. £50 will provide a basic food pack including items like rice, pasta, tinned tomatoes, tuna, corned beef, beans, uht milk, bread, cereal, tinned fruit, eggs and toilet roll, for a week. There are many things to worry about at this difficult time so let’s try and make food something that people do not need to worry about. Please support this initiative with your kind donations and help the most vulnerable in our community. Please click here to show your support and to donate.

We have now referred all those outside our area to Hanworth Foodbank. They will be delivering on Thursdays. Tuesday 14th April: We delivered to 115 households including 20 outside the Heston and Cranford area. We received support from Morrison's in Brentford with food donations. Wednesday 8th April: We delivered to 85 households. We aim to increase this to a further 100 after the Easter Bank Holiday weekend. Please do donate to help us support those most in need in our community. Thank you. Tuesday 31st March: The first food deliveries rolled out to 42 households. Next week we want to increase this to 100 with your kind donation. |
