Maidstone

A message from Captains Marion and Jonathan Rouffet

Following a meeting of the senior leadership of The Salvation Army UKI the decision has been made to stop all public meetings and Sunday worship services with immediate effect. We know that this decision has not been taken lightly but is the right decision at this time. We recognise that this will come as a disappointment to many of you, so over the coming days we will be exploring creative ways to continue our mission to God’s people. To facilitate this we’ll be at the hall most days if people want to contact us via telephone, e-mail or social media via our Facebook page

Our food bank continues to operate on a Wednesday from 10.00am-12pm and Friday from 1.15pm-3.15pm. 

For further information please contact the office on 01622 681808.

The Salvation  Army's practical hands-on work is renowned. It has never been enough just to preach; the message of God's love is also demonstrated through its work, particularly with marginalised and vulnerable people.

Our food bank has remained operational throughout the lock-down period as we continue to support individuals and families facing food poverty. We are currently distributing food to 60-80 households per week in the Maidstone borough. 

If you require support from our foodbank we open on a Wednesday 10am-12pm and Friday 1.15pm-3.15pm. We are unable to deliver food parcels.  

If you would like to support our work by donating non-perishable food items please contact us on 01622 681808 or maidstone@salvationarmy.org.uk

As of the 14th January 2021 we are currently in need of the following items:

• Tinned meat products
• Tinned Fruit
• Long-life Milk
• Cartons of orange/apple juice
• Crisps
• Cereal Bars
• Jams and spreads
• Eggs
• Fruit & vegetables (please call before bringing)
• Toilet Roll
• Toiletries - toothpaste, soap, male/female deodorants (no razors)

All funds donated to the food bank will be used to bulk purchase food and resources for the food bank. 

We are now able to safely accommodate people on a Sunday morning for a short time of worship. Please contact the office on 01622 681808 on Wednesdays 9am-12pm or Fridays 11am-3pm to book a place.
