IPSWICH

LOCKDOWN VOUCHER

Here is how Ipswich chose to use their voucher: 

We at Ipswich have used our COG voucher to support the Community Pantry at Castle Hill Community Centre.  This is a relatively new food bank that runs from the community centre in which the ecclesia meets in normal times - as an ecclesia we already support a long-running food bank elsewhere in the town but it seemed a great opportunity to widen that support so close to home.  With matching private donations that the COG gift encouraged, we were able to provide a lot of food for the Community Pantry which was very much appreciated by its manager, Garath.  The pictures attached show Garath unloading some of it.
