Food Bank
The Stourbridge Food Bank 'Replenish' exists because of support of Churches in the Stourbridge area. Chawn has had a big part in setting up and maintaining Replenish as it continues to distribute food to people in Stourbridge.
Pat Johnson is the Coordinator of Replenish, and Wendy Fryatt is the Coordinator of the Black Country Food Bank, a network of Food Banks across the Black Country.
Replenish is open at St John's Church in Stourbridge every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10am-12pm (On Bank Holiday weeks Replenish is open on a Tuesday). Please ring: 07971 728977 to get in touch with Replenish.
People that recieve food from Replenish Food Bank have been referred by other organisations throughout the Dudley Borough, via a voucher system which helps to ensure people are getting all the help they need from other organisations.
