Dorking Area Foodbank – five years old!

23rd June 2020

We first opened our doors in June 2015.  At the start of this year we were wondering how to mark the sad reality that, in 2020, there’s still a need for a foodbank in Dorking.  Then the Corona Virus pandemic hit us and we didn’t have to say anything. This has shown how anyone can fall into financial crisis to the extent that they struggle to feed themselves, even in our town and surrounding area.  It’s also shown the amazing compassion and generosity of local people who have supported with their time and donations of both food and money.  So, a very big ‘thank you’ to everyone who has kept the foodbank going, especially over the past few weeks.  And to everyone who is struggling to put food on the table, ‘we’re here to help’!
