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 by many individuals in the community, local organisations and businesses, including Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco.

Storehouse is based at the Hope Centre and can be accessed via the rear entrance on St Mary's Way car park. Please note: we are currently open for food bag collections for people who have been assessed by Melton Borough Council. We are not able to open for hot drinks or food yet.

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).
