Ely Foodbank
We’re proud to be part of a community that cares. Together with other Ely churches, we support the Ely Foodbank, providing vital assistance to local people facing crisis. We contribute to leadership, encourage food donations, offer volunteer opportunities, and provide prayer support. Because we believe that access to food is a fundamental right, and we’re committed to building a more just and compassionate society.

From Crisis to Hope: The Foodbank’s Role in Ely
A person comes to us for help. Their life is in pieces – for they have just discovered a partner has deceived them for over ten years. As their Foodbank voucher is processed and a food parcel made up, we offer to pray with the person – for clarity, for justice, for strength for tomorrow. Tears flow. Yet some months later they return. They still need some help with food, but their outlook has suddenly become brighter, they can move forward in life. We remind each other of how we prayed together, because we believe in God who changes lives!
