Tomorrow is Christmas Hamper packing day! Thanks to some generous donations we've got some fabulous hampers to give to our guests. But we're missing bags! In a last minute unorganised plea, are there any local businesses who could donate us some strong shopping bags?
Reasons to be cheerful for us this week are 123๐
1 We received a donation of delicious apples! Crunch crunch.
2 We were sent gorgeous brownies with lovely notes by #volunteers - yum.
3 Our new fridge is full of @CityHarvest_LDN produce to make dinner for our guests, yee ha!
Delighted to say our fridge fund reached its goal, & we have a lovely shiny new fridge for our #soupkitchen, which is really cool ๐ (sorry).
Big thanks to everyone who contributed to our fund. Our #volunteers are already using it to prepare tasty meals for our guests.
As nights draw in & temperatures drop we'd be hugely grateful for donations from anyone of hats, scarves or gloves. ๐งฃ๐งค If you can knit (with emotion of your choice) we'd love to pass those on & spare items in good condition welcome with plain items in dark colours preferred ๐
The #CostOfLiving crisis is a concern for everyone including our #soupkitchen guests & members of our #foodbank as well as the community in #FinsburyPark - We wanted to share some information around the Government's #EnergySupportScheme & full details at https://t.co/wdLSVQvTpc

Some covet sports cars, others Caribbean cruises, but here at St John's Kitchen, it's a great big silver beast of a fridge. There's less than ยฃ400 to reach our target and then we can serve up more fresh food to our guests! Donate at https://t.co/FLmENDzrga
The Soup Kitchen @sjebp harvest today: chard, assorted tomatoes, French beans, one sorry-looking paprika and a decent handful of summer savory. I'll dry the savory; everything else is for Tuesday's lovely @stjohnskitchen volunteers.
After two years of making do with donated domestic fridges, it's time to upgrade. We've entered new partnerships which means we have more fresh food to give out to guest. We need to raise ยฃ1200 for a new commercial fridge. Head to https://t.co/FLmENDzrga to donate!
Donโt forget our Covid-19 vaccine pop-up will be open from 2.30-6.30 on Wednesday 20th July. Anyone is welcome to drop in without appointment for a first, second or booster dose of the vaccine. St Johnโs Church, Queenโs Drive, N4 2LW.
Really great to team up with @SunshineAction UK who provided us with SO much food and lovely volunteers for our session last night. We really hope we can work with you again! #MoreThanJustFood
Surplus bananas = banoffee pie. Our volunteer bakers bringing in the goodies again. Fancy joining the baking team? You get to do all the baking with none of the calories ๐ DM us for more info!
We rely on a lot of waste food to keep St John's Kitchen running. During the pandemic, the Government provided grants to help charities redistribute food. This has now stopped, so please consider signing this petition to keep it going! https://t.co/BzrYRqYD6C
