PACE Food Bank now operates as a Community Store.
For a minimum donation of £3, a selection of 12 stock items can be selected, together with a free selection of fruit, veg and bread, as is available at the time of the visit. No referral is needed for this type of visit and all details will be recorded from the client at the first visit.
We DO NOT offer delivery. People must attend to pick up food, or have someone do so on their behalf.
The PACE Community Store is located at:
The NSC Arena
4 Belton Road West Extension
Loughborough
LE11 5XH
Opening times:
Thursday: 10.00 am – 1.00 pm
Saturday: 10.00 am – 12.00 pm
We do offer an Emergency referral system, but this is strictly referral by an outside agency. The basis for an emergency referral is that there is no financial means of obtaining food by the person requiring help.
If a person is eligible for this help they can make use of up to four free visits to the store over a period of 12 weeks. These can be used as the client needs, e.g:
Visits to the store in both emergency and “normal” circumstances operate in the same manner, which will be explained at the time of visit.
Referral by an outside agency must be by email to [email protected] and include the following:
We would expect any emergency situation to be completed by the end of the four visits (or 12 weeks) and would expect the client to move to the store model of operation – but if further emergency assistance is required then a new referral would be needed from the outside agency.
An outside agency would be considered as (in no order of importance and not exhaustive):
