Storehouse

Storehouse is part of Melton Vineyard's compassion ministry. We put together food bags for those who are most in need; for example, those who are waiting for a benefit payment to arrive or students struggling to survive on a limited income. The items we give away are as a result of referrals we receive from local organisations such as Social Services, Brooksby Melton College, Melton Furniture Project and others.

We believe in a generous God who loves to give things away and that what we give is just a small token of God's love. All our compassion ministry is offered free of charge, with a no-strings-attached policy, so that we do not look for anything in return.

Storehouse is supported by Churches Together in Melton and the surrounding area, and is based at the Fox, Leicester Street, Melton Mowbray.

If you'd value a listening ear / some company / the chance to enjoy free refreshments / lunch you're welcome to drop in at the Fox on Monday and Wednesday mornings (10-1) or Friday afternoons (1-4, lunch served 1.30-2.30pm). 

Items that we continually need for storehouse include:-

  • Toiletries: toothbrushes and toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo, soap, sanitary towels/tampons, deodorant.
  • Breakfast: UHT milk, small jars of coffee, small packets of tea bags in foil packs, cereal bars, small breakfast cereal packets (variety packs).
  • Lunches: pot noodles, packet soup, crisps, jams/spreads, biscuits/snack bars, small bottles of long life drinks.
  • Main Meals: tinned meat and fish with pull tops, tinned meat in sauce/gravy, small tinned vegetables, dried rice/pasta, packet sauces, dried packet meals, tinned/ long life puddings, tinned custard/cream.
  • Clothes, bedding, household items, baby equipment.
Food and clothing donations can be brought to the Fox during normal opening hours (see above). You can also donate to Storehouse by using the appropriate collection points in Sainsburys and Morrisons in Melton Mowbray.

In 2020, Storehouse will move to new premises at the Hope Centre.
