Fairbite Queen Edith’s Food Club
Fairbite Queen Edith’s Food Club
Queen Edith’s residents have been enormously generous in their support of the Community Food Hub in the years since it was set up in May 2020. Sadly many in our neighbourhood are still finding it difficult to make ends meet, and the Fairbite Queen Edith’s Food Club (as the Food Hub is now known) is still providing a vital service to many in our community. Whilst Fairbite provides the groceries which members of the Food Club purchase for a small fee, donations raised by Queen Edith’s Community Forum are used for the provision of fresh fruit and vegetables, eggs, and other items,
all of which are provided free of charge to Food Club customers.
When does the Food Club take place?
Every Saturday morning, between 10.30am and 12noon, at St James’ Church, Wulfstan Way.
How do I join?
It is free to become a member of the Food Club, but you need to be registered. So come along to St James’ Church on a Saturday morning. Members pay a small fee for a basket of groceries.
Who organises it?
The Food Club is run by St James’ Church. Michelle Peters organises the team of volunteers
Can I help?
If you could volunteer to help for a few hours per month, please contact Michelle on fairbite.sjww@gmail.com
