Thanks to the dedication of our amazing volunteers our Distribution Hub in Kings Rd Brentwood is open until 1pm today (Good Friday) We wish everyone a Happy Easter, please reach out to us if you need help or would like to help us support those in need in our local community

🧵 Let's talk about hunger in the UK. Parents are skipping meals so their kids can eat. People are frightened about rising energy bills. We've even heard from people who are surviving on sugary tea for days because they don't have enough money for food. This isn't right.

Thank you to everyone at @The Dental Works in Shenfield for reaching out to us when they found they had samples suitable for our clients. Your kindness to those in the local community needing our help is humbling 💚 Thank You 💚

Brentwood Foodbank (Trussell Trust) are pleased to let people know that their Dustribution Hub at Brentwood Baptist Church will be open as usual on Good Friday.
