Foodbank Van

Inspiring Grace are a charity based in the Pendle area of Lancashire. Around 7 years ago we launched a foodbank on the back of hearing about children going to school with only biscuits in their lunchboxes. We started collecting for existing foodbanks and eventually created our own mobile foodbank where we were able to deliver food directly to those in need.

We purchased a Van to allow us to deliver the parcels and also to go to various supermarkets and collection points to collect the food. We have been able to support thousands of local people as a result and this has offshooted into other projects such as healthy eating courses, money management, cooking on a budget etc and signposting the people we support.

As we have grown, more and more volunteers have joined the team and we have a wide range of referral agencies including local schools, the police, womens refuges, mental health teams, social workers, homeless centres, crisis support teams and so on. 

We have recently found the van is no longer fit for use and have decided to setup a fundraising page to allow us to continue the purchase and delivery of food across Burnley and Pendle. 

We really appreciate you coming onto oir page, reading this message and any amount you provide will make a massive difference to us.
