Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Surrey, Michael More-Molyneux, paid a welcome visit to Manna Food Bank on Wednesday 21 April, the Queen’s birthday. His visit followed up the support of Her Royal Highness the Countess of Wessex, who had been at Manna on 18 November last year, as part of a series of visits to Food Banks during the pandemic. Mr More-Molyneux helped to unload a car full of food donations just collected from Sainsbury’s Supermarket, and was shown how to date-mark the products and helped to stack them on shelves. After a guided tour of the Food Bank, he then helped to pack food parcels which were to be delivered that evening to vulnerable people in the Spelthorne area. Mr More-Molyneux was received by Elizabeth Wood-Dow OBE, Chair of Trustees, he met some of the volunteers who help at Manna on a Wednesday evening.

Manna Food Bank is a local charity in the Borough of Spelthorne, supporting local families and individuals who are referred to us by agencies, both statutory and voluntary, and perceived as being in emergency need of food and household essentials.  

Manna Food Bank receives most of the food we provide to clients via donation.  We are reliant on the local community to donate food we can then give to clients in Spelthorne.
