The Ash Villages Food Parcels Project would like to say a big thank you to Ash Parish Council, for their support of £500 to help us keep the foodbank running in 2026. This is hugely appreciated, and will help lots of local families in Ash, Ash Vale, Ash Green and Tongham. We were especially delighted to hear that the decision was unanimous, so a big thank you to all those involved in making the decision to support our application for help. THANK YOU!
What is the Ash Villages Food Parcels Project? We started out as a Covid Support Project, and have evolved to become the loacl foodbank for Ash, Ash Vale, Ash Green and Tongham. The project is a joint initiative between St Mary’s Church Ash Vale (Revd Neil Lambert) and the Ash Villages Support Circle (Carla Morson). We are here to help anyone in our commmunity who is hungry and has no means of buying food. You can be referred to us by the GP, local schools, Social Services, Childrens Services, local churches and other agencies. We suppported over 4,600 people last year, and expect this to increase in 2026 due to the cost of living and the increase in local population too.
Can you help us in 2026? We are so thankful to all our local supporters and donors. Whether you donate tins and packets, or make donations of funds, it all helps us to keep the doors open and keep feeding local people in crisis. Here’s how you can support us in 2026:
