"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” (Mat 25:35-36).
We open on Monday and Wednesday from 3.00- 5.00
pm and serve between 15 – 30 clients per session. Most are men but
we do serve a few women.

We offer hot drinks, hot
dogs, home made cakes and biscuits and give sandwiches to take
away. There is also a supply of socks and toiletries, which
we give
out as there is
need. Any food that is given to us that cannot be
turned into sandwiches is given out.
Many have addiction
problems, mental health issues or have suffered a series of
circumstances that have contributed to poor housing or homelessness.
Their lives are often lonely and chaotic with
little stability and
frequent unsuccessful efforts to control their addictions. |
Without
God there is no hope for their lives.
This
ministry started in autumn 2004 using a converted bus parked by the
side of the road and as such was previously known as Bus Shelter.
In spring 2008 the decision was made to move the project into the Millfield Centre, Cheriton Road, Folkestone. Clients who previously
would have found if difficult to come inside a church building now
find it easy as relationships have grown and boundaries have been
removed. Growing numbers also made the move into a building a
positive step forward.
If you
would like to make a food/toiletry contribution to the Millfield
Drop-In please call the church office on 01303 251155 for details.
