Since April, CCRA has run a weekly Pop-up Food Bank. This will continue to operate on Tuesday afternoons from 2-3pm from outside 59 Delafield Road until the end of September and we will consult with the Greenwich Food Bank before deciding whether to resume in the autumn/winter.
From October, neighbours who wish to continue supporting the food bank are asked to drop donations at their local supermarket where possible OR make a financial contribution here https://greenwich.
In the meantime, we would like to thank everyone who has contributed since we started on April 14th
