Storehouse

Serving families in crisis

What is Storehouse?

All Saints’ is one of many churches in and around St Andrews that practically supports the work of Storehouse.

Storehouse is a foodbank serving the most vulnerable people in our community of north east Fife.

Since 2006 Storehouse has been giving out bags of food and toiletries to individuals or families who are in crisis and are unable to provide for themselves.  These are people who may have lost a job, had a family split up, been the victims of domestic violence, or had their benefits delayed or suspended.

In desperate times we are able to meet their immediate need for food and extend God’s kindness to them.

Get involved

If you want to commit to giving to the Storehouse project please complete a form (found on the window ledge near the pulpit) in the church building and return it to Ann Loades.

What to donate

These are a few of the recommended items, but you can also check the Storehouse website to find out if there are any items they need in particular.

Please buy good quality ‘labelled’ brands, not cheap ‘value’ range. We want to show how much God values these families.

How to donate

Place your donation in the basket in the baptistry (in front of the font). This will then be taken to Storehouse to be sorted and distributed.

Directly

You can drop off donations directly to:

St Davids Centre
Albany Park

Storehouse is open to receive donations on Wednesdays from 10:00 to 16:00.

At the St David’s Centre there is a carpark around the back. There is a back door to the building there that they use. There’s a sign on the door with a doorbell attached, ring the bell, and someone will then come down to receive the donation.
