Destiny Streetworx is a local charity helping the homeless and those in need on the streets of Newcastle and Gateshead. They take food to their “Street Friends” meeting the needs of the whole person practically (with food and clothing), socially (by talking and interacting personally) and spiritually (as and when a person asks).
The things they have particularly asked for are:
- Food such as pot noodles, crisps, wrapped biscuits, hot disposable drinks, sweets
- Clothes such as socks, gloves, hats, scarfs, underwear, coats, shoes
- Toiletries
- Sleeping bags, tents, backpacks
It would also be useful if you have any spare shopping bags, to assist me getting donations to them and also to help them distribute the food.
My target for them is to obtain the following:
- 10 backpacks with sweets, biscuits, hat, gloves, scarf, toothbrush, toothpaste, drinks, Greggs voucher in time for Christmas 2018
- Other donations such as pot noodles, hot drinks, old clothes, sleeping bags, shoes, toiletries etc
They have a facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/destinystreetworx/ and their own website at: https://www.destinystreetworx.co.uk/
Could you please send me details of how to come and help I have loads of spare time I could give
Hi Dawn,
I don’t volunteer with Destiny Streetworx or any of the charities – I just collate just from family, friends and colleagues and give it to the appropriate charity.
If you’re interested in volunteering for Destiny Streetworx (homeless charity) they have a facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/destinystreetworx/ .
If you’re interested in volunteering for Connect25 (foodbank) they have a contact email foodbank@thekcfoundation.co.uk
