Lambourn Junction is a service run by volunteers to provide a food hub for local residents, many of whom find themselves in need during this unprecedented time of Covid-19. Not only do we help with providing food but help with other issues including housing and utilities.
At present the Lambourn Junction is helping up to 50 families and individuals every week.
We are purely run on donations from the local community. Whatever we receive stays in Lambourn and along the valley. We try to provide a balanced bag of food including fruit and vegetables.
February Update
This month we are looking for more donations of tinned custard, fruit, ravioli, tuna, carrots/sweetcord/potatoes/peas. Donations can be dropped off during opening hours or by contacting Julie on 07840 780345.
January Update
We are very grateful for everyone’s donations over Christmas and also at the Boxing Day/Bank Holiday Hunt. This month we are looking for more donations of tinned meat as it is the easiest source of protein as we don’t currently have refridgeration facilities. We are looking for tinned hot dogs, meatballs, Fray Bentos meat pies and corned beef.
Donations can be dropped off during opening hours or by contacting Julie on 07840 780345.
