storehouse

Storehouse was initiated as a response to the increase in hardship we are seeing in the area of Bristol and South Gloucestershire. Our community has been noticeably affected by the rise in utility bills and many people are struggling to provide enough food and warm clothing for themselves and their families. Storehouse is intended to ‘meet the needs of those in need’ and can include helping people with clothing, food and heating, although other requests that are deemed as necessary to the health and wellbeing of an individual who comes to us asking for specific help will be considered and, where possible, their needs met.

Currently those accessing help from Storehouse are primarily from Foodbank, Bourne Christian Centre and their community clubs. In order for Storehouse to run effectively, Bourne Christian Centre has access to donated food and clothes. The church Operations Manager is also available throughout the week for those with needs.

Storehouse seeks to look after the poor and needy as instructed by Jesus and throughout the New Testament in scriptures, such as Matthew 23:23, Acts 20:35 and 1 John 3:17.
