It was good to duck by to visit East Elmbridge Foodbank’s new site at Molesey Youth Centre today, along with Surrey County Council Leader Tim Oliver.
The foodbank moved their whole operation to Molesey Youth Centre, in June, and are now operating a full packing and despatch service at the site. The building, which is owned by Surrey County Council, is bigger than the previous site at Esher Green Baptist Church, and has allowed the foodbank to store all of their stock on site, rather than paying for commercial storage units.
Jenny French and her team have done a truly fantastic job at responding to increased local demand during the pandemic, and adapting to the challenging circumstances of the last few months. These volunteers are doing great work to ensure that basic shopping essentials are reaching the elderly and vulnerable residents within our community. If you would like to drop off food donations at Molesey Youth Centre, you can do so from 10:00 – 16:00 on Monday – Thursdays.
