City Changer Projects | Paul Pickhaver - Kingston Fuelbank | Doxa Deo Community Church London

Описание: In this video, Paul Pickhaver, a staff member at our Doxa Deo Community Church (London) campus, shares the story of the Fuelbank Foundation, a City Changer Project that has done much to spread love and hope throughout the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames in the U.K.

"We didn't wait for something to grow big. We started with something small ... and we saw some incredible things happen. This shows us what God is like. We just come and show love, then He comes and shows His love, and that's always so much more!" Paul Pickhaver

Kingston Foodbank was established in 2012 out of a need to provide for people who were experiencing a lack in the area of food. The Foodbank's goal is twofold; first, to alleviate the strain and pressure faced by local people in providing food in challenging circumstances, second, to no longer be in existence by 2025 as a result of sustainable ways for people to address practical needs and issues. We provide emergency food and support to people experiencing crisis in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and campaign to end food poverty.

The Fuelbank Foundation was piloted and launched through Kingston Foodbank and gives top-up utility vouchers to people who qualify for Foodbank support and are on pay-as-go energy meters.
