8 The Two Charities We Are Supporting At Harvest Thanksgiving Rebuilding lives for a brighter future If you re homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless, and need help to get back on your feet, we re here for you. We offer good quality accommodation with support and resettlement services, and we can help you to develop skills to break the cycle of homelessness, poverty and exclusion. We work across Berkshire, Hampshire, Portsmouth, Southampton and Sussex. Waterlooville Food Bank Waterlooville Food Bank Living Waters Church Kite Close, Wecock, Cowplain PO8 9UJ The food bank continues to give parcels of food and other daily essentials to those who have difficulty purchasing enough due to unforeseen circumstances. Waterlooville Baptist Church works alongside the Living Waters Church helping to collect food for this very necessary and vital charity. 100 special Christmas parcels were given out in December 2017 There are volunteers from churches and other walks of life who help to make this possible by making up the parcels for collection on Mondays between 9.30 and 11.30am and on Fridays between 12 noon and 2pm and collecting from the various collection points. Collection points are in local supermarkets, churches and offices in the area, we would be unable to do this work if it wasn t for the generosity and good will of all concerned Matthew 25:35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat..
