23rd March 2020 8:30pm
Who can forget those infamous words from the former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
This is the day that the Government instructed the whole of the UK to be locked down.
Being a Christian Charity, this was hard to to hear, but we complied and shut our doors on the 26th of March 2020.....but, that didnt stop us reaching out to the people of Gosport and carrying on our mission..
Even though our doors where shut we were called into action by the local council, asking us to meet the demand for food for, the public who were either to afraid to go to supermarkets, or ordered to stay home on medical grounds.
This saw us purchasing ,making up and delivering food parcels weekly.
We had closed our main operations and store, but set up a food distribution within our family bubble, with volunteers on the side lines.
As restrictions where lifted we eventully reopened the foodbank and then the store.
We Delivered over 200 food parcels each week to the public.
All together we delivered over 4000 parcels of food during the national lockdown
