The Well Foodbank 

The Well has been in existence in Wolverhampton for 16 years and now delivers parcels to 120 homes a week, in August 2022 it had delivered 100k parcels to individuals. A big thank you to those that support The Well by donating food items, toiletries etc, we are very appreciative of the support you are able to give. Sadly our stocks in specific items are very low whereas we have a plentiful supply of pasta and biscuits -  we are particularly short of meat soups, jam/marmalade, noodles, sugar, fruit drinks, long life milk, pasta and rice sachets, bags of rice, custard, male and female toiletries (shower gel/shampoo/deodrant) sanitary products, bars of soap, cat and dog food, household cleaning items, tinned peas - we are also putting out a request for Easter eggs, any size. Your donations whatever amount are gratefully received, they will be used, please place them in the trolley at the back of church - so thank you. 'It is in giving we receive' Kay Stokes
