King’s Food Bank is continuing to distribute emergency food, clothes, bedding and cleaning materials to those affected by the flooding. We have moved from the Town Hall to the Westmorland Shopping Centre in Kendal (above Argos) and we will be open tomorrow, Friday 11th December, between 10.00am and 4.00pm and again next week Monday to Friday between 10.00am and 4.00pm. Thank you to everyone who has donated goods or volunteered their time.

Monthly Update

It seems like the weeks are flying by and here we are well into the month of March and I have just checked our figures and so far this year the food bank has received 270 referrals. Which means we are busier than we were at this time last year.
A huge increase in referrals puts extra pressure on our volunteers and we are so grateful for all the time they put in, always with a smile.
We appreciate too all the food donations that arrive via our donation points week by week, thank you for helping us in this way. At the moment we are really low on UHT semi skimmed milk, packets of microwave rice, tins of carrots, instant noodles, sponge puddings, tins of custard and rice pudding and bottles of squash. Quite a list, but if you can help in any way that would be great and much appreciated.
We are distributing the food we receive, to individuals and families who find themselves in very difficult circumstances without enough money to buy the food they need and that's where we are able to help.
