Foodbank

Helping people in crisis
Silklife Foodbank was established in December 2010 in response to Macclesfield’s growing need for on-the-spot emergency food boxes. Each foodbox provides 4–5 days of nutritional non-perishable food for those in our neighbourhood who have fallen on hard times and are temporarily unable to provide for themselves, often through no fault of their own.

We work in partnership with local support agencies and frontline care professionals such as Cheshire East Housing Options, Social Services and Macclesfield Accommodation Care and Concern (MACC). This ensures that we are able to reach to most vulnerable and needy people and families in our town who would otherwise go hungry.

Silklife Foodbank is run and supported by Silklife Church and is stocked mainly by regular food and financial donations from church members and increasingly through the local community. All boxes are given freely!

You can help by buying items from the list below and donating them to Silklife Foodbank:

Milk (UHT or powdered)
Sugar (500g)
Fruit juice (carton)
Soup
Pasta sauces
Sponge pudding (tinned)
Baked beans/tomatoes (tinned)
Cereals
Rice pudding (tinned)
Tea bags/instant coffee
Instant mash potato
Rice/pasta
Tinned meat/fish
Tinned fruit
Jam/honey
Biscuits/snack bars

...this will provide a minimum of three days non-perishable emergency food to local people in crisis.
