StoreHouse

StoreHouse is a project created by Influence Church to help meet the needs in our communities and offer support in an even greater way.

StoreHouse is designed to help meet the needs of our wider community through providing emergency food supplies to those who, through whatever circumstances, are not able to provide adequately for themselves or their immediate family. Through a ‘food bank’ style scheme, StoreHouse will help meet needs caused by rising food prices and increased poverty.

We have also linked with other support agencies in our area that are able to refer ‘clients’ they are already working with to be able to benefit from this project.

If you would like to access StoreHouse, or know someone else who is in need of assistance, please do not hesitate to visit us. Listed below are the times we are open. You are not required to bring any proof of need with you for a first visit.
