The Warminster and District Food Bank was founded 12 years ago and is now an independent Foodbank, an unincorporated charity, with Trustees who are reappointed at the AGM, normally held in July, but replaced if and when necessary throughout the year.
Our aim is to provide food as well as other daily sundries for individuals and families who may be homeless, going through financial difficulties or who are considered by social services, schools or doctors to be people in need of extra support.
We have 5 trustees and 37 volunteers for which we are extremely grateful. We open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays weekly from 8.45am - 1pm, with a leader and at least 3 volunteers working during each session. A manager also holds an emergency mobile which clients can ring if they are desperate at any time.
Much of our food is donated by Churches, individuals and organisations. We do buy food on a daily basis, using our own funds, to supplement that available for distribution including fresh eggs, bread, meat and fish. As well as the odd donations given directly to Dewey House a number of people now donate on a monthly basis direct to our bank account.
Covid has changed our way of working. For the safety of everyone, clients at the moment are unable to actually call into the foodbank and they have to ring and give their details and requirements. Food bags are packed by the volunteers and are then either delivered by other volunteers or clients can now come to the door to collect their parcels if they prefer.
We have been unable to organise any fundraising events for almost 2 years but the public have been extremely generous and supported the food bank financially to the extent that our balances have never been so high. However, as the Treasurer reported, donations have reduced significantly since April 2021 and this is the main financial risk facing the foodbank. The money on deposit is held to cover our monthly outgoings, ie rent, food and other sundries in the event of a significant reduction in financial donations and us not being able to organise our own fundraising activities during the next few years.
