On Saturday 22ndMarch Eccleston Scouts group hiked
a 10-mile return journey from Eccleston to Chorley tothe Storehouse, carrying donations of food on their
backs. Leaders Jimmy and Laura Waine and Phil Orr
said the Scouts are currently working on their Promise
Challenge Badge. Well done everyone!
A HUGE thank you to all the churches in Chorley
Borough, our local Council, Schools, Businesses and
individuals who have supported us in so manyamazing ways throughout this year.
In March we gave out 116 food hampers to familiesand people in crisis through our referral scheme!!
These people were also given a nourishing hot meal
from our delicious Storehouse menu made and served
by theConnect Caf, which is open to the public onTuesday and Fridays from 10am-2pm
Many of the people being referred havent eaten
anything for two or three days. One man told us he
had been surviving for the last 3 days of a box ofcornflakes. Another young mum said she hadnt been
eating so that she could give what little she had to herhungry children
Demand for our service is increasing each month, and
costs are rising. We really need your help. Can you do
a charity challenge for the Storehouse, or host your
own fundraising event. Gather your friends together
at work, school or as a family, there are so many waysto support our work, whatever you do to help, big or
small you can help us make a difference to the lives of
others who need it the most.
