We provide 500+ breakfast packs a week to homeless men, women and children as part of our outreach rounds. We think no one should wake up to face the day without the prospect of food. Sometimes it’s all that the kids have to eat all day. Our service has increased by 60% during Covid. During outreach we triage minor first aid cases, give out nutritious hot food made by our home cooks, sandwiches, cake and fruit,hot drinks such as hot chocolate and coffee, both made with hot milk for maximum nutrition, toiletries, clothing, bedding including ground sheets , blankets, torches and tents. Our home cooks all hold food hygiene certificates and are registered with their local councils. We assist rough sleepers and those classified as vulnerably housed homeless.
The proceeds for our shop sales help towards providing first aid and mental health support, clothing, toiletries and sleeping bags to approximately 500 street-homeless men and women each week and those classified as vulnerably-housed homeless (including children) in Bexhill, Hastings, St Leonards, Eastbourne, Seaford and Brighton.
