And thank you to Waitrose Dartford for the

There are many others who have donated
anonymously and to them we would also like
to express our thanks.
Wow what an amazing first year which
would not have been possible without
all of your support
The Storehouse has continued to grow over
the last year with our busiest month handing
out 502 food bags to Haven users.
In November Waitrose Dartford chose Haven
Storehouse to be one of it’s charities for the
green token collection, and thanks to the
generosity of Waitrose customers raised over
£1550.
We have also had our first Christmas and
thanks to a very generous donation were
able to provide lunch to around 90 users (pic
above) and their families. We were also
able to give all our regular users over the
Christmas period a gift.
Haven turned 1 year old on the 17th January
2013 and in that time we have handed out
3201 food bags plus toiletries, nappies and
wipes.
Some of the comments we have received
from Haven users
“When I walk in here it feels like I’m being
loved”
“Coming here has made a big difference to
us”
“Thank you for helping me to feed my
family”
