Mr R. Levi I have nothing but praise for what you guys are doing in helping the community in their time of need, I really appreciate the help that I received from you guys. In this current climate a lot of us are finding it very difficult and the service you provide has proven invaluable I cannot thank you enough I hope you can continue you to receive funding as this service is highly needed. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel.

Shamara and family The staff on duty at Birmingham Care Group were extremely friendly upon arrive and very helpful. The box which I got not only had dried goods, it also had Caribbean products that was amazing for what our household needed but it had FRESH food also which is amazing to receive. My children made fresh juice with the kale and decorated the ginger bread cookies after school. Can I also mention that the hard dough bread was like Christmas came early when my children saw it. I also had purchased patties and a cooked meal which was also amazing to be able to buy at a price I could afford. With losing full time work and being a sole parent to two children, one of which has sickle cell, this service has helped me and my household beyond words could sum up. Thank you so much for being available to the community.

Councillor Mohammed Azim, Lord Mayor of Birmingham The food has been culturally sensitive and helped to provide food that many elders in the community rely on and that you are a small team but the impact in the local community is both remarkable and greatly appreciated. Please accept my heartfelt thanks to you and all at Birmingham Care group this is essential work and you truly are heroes in these very challenging times.

My cousin collected some food for my 86 year old mum who has been confined to her house bless her.  This has brought a big smile to her face. God bless you Fiona and Sharon and the organisations that have been able to make this happen, community is everything  ?

Anon I would like to extend my utmost gratitude to the services the staff members provide at The Birmingham Care Group foodbank.  You all contribute to the community, supporting to numerous individuals and families. Helping those that are vulnerable with various issues such as  Physical disabilities, mental health, Drug addiction, Poverty, Homeless etc..  Building them a scaffold supporting their need of simple vital necessities and beyond. I never thought in a million years that I would need this type of aid within my family’s unit as now a carer for my elder brother that suffered a major stroke.  As a family our lives changed dramatically overnight. Life has become more complicated under the current situation surrounding the pandemic to say the least.  The Birmingham Care Group foodbank literally feeds my brother on a daily basis providing ready main meals and additional food parcels. The food is full of flavour well balanced with all the necessary proteins and minerals for one’s dietary needs also remarkable value for money. The foodbank provides something for everybody not just for Afro Caribbean descent. The service provided is a massive weight off my shoulders as I also care for my 85 year old mother.  As the economy is shifting towards a more state dependent country, The Birmingham Care Group food bank and other establishments like this is rapidly growing. In desperation even among the working class as people struggle to feed themselves and their families. I urge and plead to The Government, businesses sponsors etc, that will support these types of essential establishments to continue your good deeds love makes the world go around. To all of the seen and unseen heroes continue to make the world a better place.  Thank you to all the team at Birmingham Care Group foodbank.
