FEED now partners with the Trussell Trust who are generously funding our emergency food parcels. We are still welcoming individuals to ‘shop’ for free food and essential items, but now through our BRIDGE membership scheme. Find out more about BRIDGE here. In addition to our usual running costs for KIT, REFUEL, PARENTING ministries, and the dozens of support agencies we host (debt management, mental health, free law advice, addiction support, etc), we are now offering a host of new services and support through our BRIDGE membership scheme. That means your support is now as important as ever!
GIVE FINANCIALLY
FEED and BRIDGE are part of the Vineyard Care Centre, an outworking of the Vineyard Church’s ongoing commitment to live out the Bible’s teaching: to help those in need and stand up with the marginalised. Donate to our Care Centre (formerly FEED) Fund to ensure our shop is fully stocked and we can meet our operational costs.
Donating to BANKUET means they’ll deliver those items we’re most in need of, at any given time. This means we can ensure a fully stocked shop for our BRIDGE members every week.
DONATIONS
Donate food and essential items for BRIDGE at the Vineyard Church (Mon-Fri,10am-3pm, map) or drop items at our BRIDGE (formerly FEED) Donation Points in St Albans stores of Sainsbury, Morrisons and Waitrose. Thank you!

REGULAR SPONSORS
We’ve found that when people see their fellow man or woman in need, they want to help. We love seeing generosity flow out of compassion. Thank you for your continued support.
FEED Origins
The FEED food bank began in 2008, starting with members of the St Albans Vineyard Church gathering food and essential items to give away to wherever it was needed in the local community. FEED grew into a much needed and popular ministry, partnering with over a hundred local churches, schools, businesses, charities and organisations, to provide thousands of people within the district who are living in poverty, with food and essential items. Other Vineyard ministries grew alongside, like KIT and REFUEL, under the Care Centre umbrella.
FEED is part of the Vineyard Care Centre
The Vineyard Care Centre exists to equip people with the tools and support they need to move towards living a more independent life, empowering them to fulfil their God given potential.
