Based at St Martin’s Church, the centre will be open on Thursdays from 1-2.30pm. Anyone who has a referral can come and collect their food parcel from the team of volunteers who are there to welcome people and offer a listening ear and signpost to further support if possible; as well as giving the food, toiletries, pet food and cleaning items all donated by members of the public. The distribution centres in Cefn Mawr and Gwersyllt are also re-opening, having been temporarily closed due to the pandemic. Along with the centres in Rhosddu, Caia Park and either side of the town centre, there are now seven distribution centres open, as well as home deliveries offered twice a week.
WREXHAM Foodbank has made its 1000th home delivery since the pandemic began and is encouraging people in need to seek help. In April 2020 the food bank started offering home delivery of its food parcels to help those that were unable to leave home due to Covid isolation to collect. Staff from Rhosddu Carpets stepped in to deliver the parcels and then once they returned to work, members of the public came forward to volunteer to drive, as well as staff from Unicorn Travel. Since April 1 last year the food bank has given out more than 2500 food parcels, feeding just over 6000 people.
