Sam with MP Marie Rimmer in the centre, with Rev Louise and Rev Simon Moore and team rectors of Sutton MP Marie Rimmer visited a makeshift food bank in Sutton which has delivered hundreds of food parcels to the community since launching in December. During the pandemic, many people have lost their jobs due to the coronavirus crisis, leaving families short of cash and unable to buy the food they need. With that in mind, Sutton Parish has established an independent food bank inside St Michael s Church of England Church on Gartons Lane, where families in need can attend each Sunday for a parcel of food and items they need.
A FOOD bank has been set up inside a Sutton church to help give back to the community during the pandemic. Many people have lost their jobs due to the coronavirus crisis, leaving families short of cash and unable to buy the food they need. With that in mind, Sutton Parish has established an independent food bank inside St Michael s Church of England Church on Gartons Lane, where families in need can attend each Sunday for a parcel of food and items they need. This was the idea of pastoral assistant Sam Rigby, who saw the need in the area.
