OUR STORY
In 2013 a group of friends in Paddock Wood, recognised that some local families and individuals were facing significant financial difficulties and wanted to do something about it. So they started to give out food parcels during school holidays and at seasonal occasions. Gradually the idea gained momentum as more and more needs were identified and The Community Storehouse was born.

Today we receive donations in excess of 8. 5 tonnes each year, and give out a similar amount.

We are very grateful to everyone of the individuals, organisations and companies that support us with regular donations of non-perishable goods and money.
