This month we celebrated the Harvest Festival in school and helped to feed local people in crisis by collecting tinned and dried food for the Westminster Foodbank.  The Foodbank provides short term emergency food to people in crisis.  Food is given as an intervention strategy which allows care professionals, such as Church Pastoral Workers, Health Visitors, Social Services etc, time to put longer term measures in place.  Food will be distributed at the Foodbank Centre at Westminster Chapel on Buckingham Gate, where people will be given enough food for three days as well as being signposted to organisations which can provide further assistance.  Thank you to everyone who donated food and supported this valuable charity.

Westminster Foodbank Thank you Message

We would like to say a special thank you to you and the pupils of St. Vincent’s for your kind donation of 1.95 kilograms of food to our Foodbank

In 2015, we distributed 6,951 kilograms of food to 752 adults and 292 children

This is only made possible by the generosity of our donors such as yourselves. Thank you for providing genuine help to those who need it and being an integral part of our mission at Westminster Foodbank.
