Community Groceries

FOOD SUPPORT IN BURNLEY

Everyone needs a hand sometimes, and there are a few ways you can get support with your food shopping.

Two Community Groceries now run in Burnley, one at Valley Street Community Centre and the other at Down Town. More information about getting food and household essentials from the groceries can be found here - https://communitygrocery.org.uk/burnley/

At St Matthew’s we accept food donations for the groceries in the baskets at the entrance to church. We are very grateful for donations of any types of tinned or dried foods (such as soups, tinned meats and fish, tinned fruits and veg, cooking sauces etc), tea, coffee, UHT milk, biscuits, cereals, household products or toiletries. (Fresh food needs to be donated to the grocery directly as we don't have storage for it.)

The local community had been amazing at supporting the food bank which was running at St Matthew's until the grocery opened and continues to be generous. Thank you for you ongoing generosity.
