Silklife Foodbank

Silklife Foodbank was established in December 2010, in response to Macclesfield’s growing need for on-the-spot emergency food boxes. Each food box provides five days of nutritional, non-perishable food for those in our neighbourhood who have fallen on hard times and are temporarily unable to provide for themselves, often through no fault of their own. More recently, the needs of the community have gone beyond just emergency food parcels and now include toiletries and baby supplies.

We work in partnership with local support agencies and frontline care professionals such as Cheshire East , Social Services, Citizens Advice and Peaks & Plains. This ensures that we are able to reach out to most vulnerable and needy people and families in our town who would otherwise go hungry. Silklife Foodbank is run and supported by Silklife Church and is stocked mainly by regular food and financial donations from church members and the local community. All parcels are freely given!
