YOUR GENEROSITY WITH FOODBANK DONATIONS MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN OUR CITY!
Reverse Advent is happening throughout December, a time for you and your family to spread joy to some of the most vulnerable in Birmingham. We’re collecting Foodbank donations through the Reverse Advent calendar which you can pick up at any of our Sunday services and you’re welcome to participate.
“In October we had a woman arrive to our Safe House. It was her first time in Birmingham and she arrived with no money and very little belongings. She had been a victim of domestic abuse and forced marriage, experiencing abuse on a daily basis. She was referred to settle into temporary accommodation, and we were able to provide her with a food and toiletry bag from your Foodbank. She shared with us: “When the support worker handed the food parcels and toiletries donations, I could not stop crying. I gave a big hug to the worker. Thank you so much.
”
“We would like to thank the congregation at Birmingham Vineyard for your incredibly generous donations of toiletry and Foodbank bags to our project. Your bags are contributing to our SafePlace project. They are given to male survivors of human trafficking, modern slavery and exploitation when they are first identified and taken to a safe place to recover. For many of our service users they will arrive with very few personal items and often only the clothes on their back, so being able to give them these items is an invaluable gesture of kindness.”
