Over 30,000 home cooked hot meals a year

 
The starting point for a homeless person arriving in Chichester or Bognor will be our direct access facility at St Joseph’s Night Refuge, where we provide shelter and home cooked meals to those in need. Each year Stonepillow provides over 30,000 hot meals most of which are cooked by volunteers from ingredients donated by our community and supporters. So whether it is lunch at one of the day centres during the day or an evening meal at the refuge, the food you donate will literally be a lifeline to the people who eat it.
 

Food parcels for move-on accommodation

 
Our move-on accommodation provides supported housing and our residents will have the best possible opportunity to have their needs assessed and addressed in order to reintegrate back into the community. This is not an easy process and sometimes our residents can do with a little extra help. You can help our service users on their recovery journey by donating items from our needs list so that we offer food parcels to new tenants in our move-on accommodations.
