This Crisp packet project needs your help, can you collect and drop crisp packets at Kath's Place Deptford? Could you set up a project in YOUR school, YOUR community? it needs little space and little funds in global terms to get started

The reality for so many people in the present crisis. Rents are so high in our area that people in work do not have enough cash to pay the rent and, probably for the first time in their lives, are having to trade a visit to their local coffee shop for a visit to the We Care Food Bank and Food Pantry for help, advice, support and solidarity. Embarrassed and even ashamed, but even more desperate and distraught that their kids are going hungry, mums tell us that they can go days without food, and, on average, it takes people at least a week of going hungry before they finally come through our doors and ask for help. We really do need your donation this Christmas GoFundMe https://gf.me/u/x8m3fw  .

We would also ask that you buy your Christmas gifts from our Community Hub at Kath's Place Deptford or buy ethical gifts, fashion and books from our website www.kathduncan-equality-civilrights-network.co.uk, Since We Care was launched as the UK's largest independent food bank and advice and support hub in Lewisham in 2014, we have always ensured that, during school holidays and Christmas, children and the hungry families they come from do not have to worry about putting food on the table. This half term, however, and over this coming Christmas, we truly need your help to feed the new wave of people and pets from across London who are in crisis and will be coming through our doors this winter at Kath's Place, 50 Friendly Street, Deptford SE8 4DR.
