The Aurora Foodbank Ladies

Between April and July Shepperton Rotary Aurora and other groups have donated bags of food to the Jubilee Church Collection Centre in Manygate Lane where the church members and volunteers have been providing for 48 households (nearly 900 individuals) every week. 

To make this happen, the members of Aurora have helped to publicise, distribute leaflets and collect sort food, toiletries and other essentials during the COVID lockdown. Although always keeping the required distancing regulations, we have never been closer, working as a team helping those in need in and around our community. 

There has been an overwhelming response and many messages of appreciation from those struggling during this difficult time but the challenge goes on; we see no end! We trust that our boxes will continue to be filled to overflowing at our collection points, Burchetts Way behind the High Street, Grove Road off Manygate Lane, the Towpath near Shepperton Lock, Thamesfield Court and Church Road. 

Thank you to all those who have supported the foodbank at this time!
