Our food bank has changed over the Years.
We had a humble food bank, but as times changed...we also had to change.
Demand got larger
So we had to change alot of things.....and we did
So we rebuilt the food bank, and right in the middle of a pandemic
and finished in time for the new opening
Ten times bigger than before
And we called it - The Store Cupboard
