On Saturday 22ndMarch Eccleston Scouts group hiked

a 10-mile return journey from Eccleston to Chorley tothe Storehouse, carrying donations of food on their

backs. Leaders Jimmy and Laura Waine and Phil Orr

said the Scouts are currently working on their Promise

Challenge Badge. Well done everyone!

A HUGE thank you to all the churches in Chorley

Borough, our local Council, Schools, Businesses and

individuals who have supported us in so manyamazing ways throughout this year.

In March we gave out 116 food hampers to familiesand people in crisis through our referral scheme!!

These people were also given a nourishing hot meal

from our delicious Storehouse menu made and served

by theConnect Caf, which is open to the public onTuesday and Fridays from 10am-2pm

Many of the people being referred havent eaten

anything for two or three days. One man told us he

had been surviving for the last 3 days of a box ofcornflakes. Another young mum said she hadnt been

eating so that she could give what little she had to herhungry children

Demand for our service is increasing each month, and

costs are rising. We really need your help. Can you do

a charity challenge for the Storehouse, or host your

own fundraising event. Gather your friends together

at work, school or as a family, there are so many waysto support our work, whatever you do to help, big or

small you can help us make a difference to the lives of

others who need it the most.

Can you donate just 4 to feed one adult? If you can

between 10am - 2pm and you will receive a warmwelcome. You can also stay and sample one of our
