Out of hours food is held by the 700 Club at its hostel St. George's Hall in Elmfield Street. The store is available for access on all evenings and during the weekend. Providers may refer people with whom they may have some involvement; others can call at St. George's Hall without referral.
The out of hours store will only provide ' iron rations' designed to ensure that an individual does not go without food overnight. The person concerned will be expected to access one of the main food stores the following morning at:
- Grange Road Baptist Church - open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday between 10.00am and 12.00 noon or;
- First Stop food store which is accessible during their normal working hours
Providers will contact St. George's Hall with the name and address of the individual who will be accessing the food store. When an individual arrives at St. George's Hall, whether referred or not the staff on duty will take the name and address of that person to check if they have received food previously.
Due to limited supplies individuals can only access the food store service once and they will be advised to contact one of the main food stores as soon as they can.
The individual will be provided with 2 or 3 tins and advised that their information will be added to a database of people who have accessed the out of hours store to which both Grange Road Baptist Church and First Stop will also be informed.
