Supporting Our Community: The Work of the Ramsey Foodbank and British Red Cross
The Foodbank: A Lifeline for Many
The Ramsey Foodbank plays a critical role in addressing food insecurity. With the rising cost of living and unexpected hardships, more people are turning to foodbanks for help. Our dedicated team of volunteers works tirelessly to ensure no one in our community goes hungry.
Each week, the foodbank provides nutritious food parcels to individuals and families in crisis, offering much more than just sustenance. By partnering with The Red Cross and other local agencies we also offer a listening ear and signpost those in need to other services for financial advice, housing support, and mental health assistance.
Carissa Pugsley has been appointed as a Community Liaison Officer through the Red Cross. Carissa is available to help you with a range of concerns during Ramsey foodbank opening hours and in Ramsey Library on a Wednesday.
We are grateful to local businesses, schools, and generous donors who ensure our shelves are stocked with essentials like canned goods, pasta, cereal, and hygiene products.
How You Can Help:
- Donate: Non-perishable food items and toiletries are always in high demand. Monetary donations are also welcome and help keep this vital service running.
- Volunteer: Whether sorting donations, packing parcels, or assisting with deliveries, there are many ways to lend a helping hand.
- Become a Trustee: We are interested in hearing from anyone who has strategic or trustee expertise elsewhere in order to strengthen our board.
The combined efforts of the Ramsey Food Bank and the Red Cross highlight the strength of community-driven initiatives. We rely on the generosity and goodwill of individuals like you. By supporting our work, we can create a stronger, more compassionate community where no one is left behind.
