Yes, that's right we are moving.  The new base will be at OX2 0JJ, at the back of Habitat at the Seacourt Tower retail park.

We will be at the back of Habitat: when entering the site from the Botley Road, go straight rather than right, and look for the larger roller door.

Thank you very much to the many people who contributed money and showed interest in the OFB at today's street collection in Cornmarket.  Thanks particularly to the narby Big Issue seller who felt that we were attracting some of the people who would normally be giving him money, but who still gave us a donation himself.

Hiba Naeem from Glasgow has been helping us this week as part of her Duke of Edinburgh award.  She has been helping our drivers to pick up and deliver food, helping staff at Donnington Doorstep to prepare the food, cleaning the depot and delivering fund-raising leaflets.  Thank you for your wonderful work, Hiba!.

The state of the Food Bank’s finances had been worrying us recently; though our running costs are very low by comparison with most charities (because we are entirely voluntary) we do have basic costs - principally fuel, various insurances and depot maintenance. At the beginning of March the money was running out.

Steppin' Stomes - The Porch is a charity for homeless people and people who are vulnerably housed in East Oxford. Steppin' Stones provides nutritious meals at their day-centre.  Much of the food is grown on their own allotment, but this is now supplemented by deliveries from the Oxford Food Bank, which greatly improves the range of the food that they can offer. Watch the video to hear what Nigel has to say!

A CHARITY has launched its Christmas push to get food to thousands of Oxford’s most vulnerable people.

Volunteers at the Oxford Food Bank are working day and night to deliver supplies for more than 3,000 meals a week over what they say is becoming an increasingly busy festive period.

Yesterday the team picked up another van-load of supplies from Sainsbury’s supermarket in Kidlington, which will be sorted and handed out in the city.

OXFORD’S most vulnerable people will have access to fresh food every day, thanks to a new food bank.

Every night, charities, shelters and community centre s will get boxes of produce delivered to their doors, which have been donated by supermarkets.

The Oxford Food Bank, officially launched yesterday by charity Re-plenish, will distribute food which is past its sell-by date, but within its use-by date, through a network of 30 volunteers.

The Oxford Hub supplies student volunteers for every shift - there are two each day;  we would struggle without them.  Thank you to everyone involved.
