This #FoodbankFriday, if you'd like to help us with stock for our last session, we are urgently in need of:

- Tinned tomatoes
- UHT milk
- Tinned fruit
- Biscuits
- Jam

FOR DONORS: If you're donating to us by standing order or Direct Debit, please cancel with your bank to ensure you won't be charged after we close!

[Smethwick Foodbank @SmethwickFoodba]

If you're donating by Direct Debit, you can cancel your DD, or they'll be cancelled when we close. If we have any stock remaining, it will be donated to other local charities who provide emergency food - nothing will be wasted.

Info for donors on our closure: Smethwick Foodbank will close down after its last session on Friday 29th May. We will use any donated money/food/toiletries up until that last session, to provide help and signposting to clients for as long as we can.(1/2)

Sadly, Smethwick Foodbank is closing down due to lack of funds. Our last session will be on Friday 29th May when we will be open as usual from 11 AM - 2 PM. It has been an honour and a pleasure to serve this community for the last fourteen years. Thank you.

Happy Eid Al-Fitr! May it be restful and joyous. 💚

[Smethwick Foodbank @SmethwickFoodba]

By the end of today's session, those numbers will grow again. We couldn’t do any of it without you – this is where your donations go. We don’t spend anything on advertising; this is all direct impact, with a lot of help from our donors and friends. Thank you. (8/8)

[Smethwick Foodbank @SmethwickFoodba]

[Smethwick Foodbank @SmethwickFoodba]

- listened, when people needed it most. (7/8)

Liver health checks are back! If you're local to West Bromwich, next Monday's session is a good time to get checked.

No appointment needed, just turn up for a non-invasive health check which only takes 7 minutes. You can find out if you are eligible here: https://t.co/BBIO9gfEpz
