A week of visitors

How ridiculous - a blog to show our latest exciting news and yet we have had so much exciting news I have been too busy to update the blog!

Hopefully you will all have received our interim news letter sent out last week which covered some of the amazing provision which has taken place in the last 4 weeks. If you haven't received this and would like to then please click on the join our mailing list link on the website or download a copy in pdf. format which should be available on the website by the end of this week at the latest.

Last week The Food Bank had some very interesting visitors starting with The Rt Revd Alan Wilson - Bishop of Buckingham. Bishop Alan visited on Wednesday and spent three hours at our warehouse, learning about our work, our plans for the future and then praying with our volunteers - a very special morning.

On Friday morning we had Mark Lancaster, MP for Milton Keynes North come along to see what we do and in the afternoon Iain Stewart, MP for Milton
Keynes South came and visited. Both were very interested in what we do and were keen to help us to raise the profile of our work which will hopefully encourage more donations of both food and funds. So altogether a very interesting week!

I do plan to make a concerted effort to blog daily as there is just so much going on at the moment that it is a very exciting time for us so please - watch this space!
