Cornerstone Drop In

"For I was hungry & you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty & you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger & you invited me in”
(Matt 25:35-36).

 

Drop In operates on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2.30 – 4.30 p.m. in the back hall of The Cornerstone Centre, supporting between 20-40 individuals each session. Our dedicated team of volunteers provides a warm, safe and friendly environment for people in our community who are experiencing poverty, social isolation, or homelessness. 

Everyone who comes to Drop In is welcomed with a smile. We offer a hot snack, drinks, cake and biscuits, creating a space where people can relax                                                                                   and connect while also having a bite to eat.     

We recognise that many of our guests may be living with addiction, mental health challenges or financial pressures, and a small number are without stable accommodation. Drop In offers consistent, compassionate support and a point of stability for those whose lives may feel lonely or chaotic. 

This ministry began in a converted bus, and later moved to Millfield, Cheriton Road in 2008. In October 2018, Drop In  relocated to The Cornerstone Centre, where it sits alongside SKCC's wider community intiatives. Over the years, it has become a trusted and valued service within the local area.  

If you would like to contribute food items to support the work of Drop In, the following donations are especially helpful and can be passed to the SKCC office team:- 
 
  • Tins of hotdogs
  • Packets of soup
  • Tinned meat
