The Sharing Shed Food Bank

We are proud to offer our own small-scale food bank to support any of our families that are in need or at crisis point.  The food bank is there to be used and there is no judgement to be made to anyone who uses the food bank. We recognise that asking for help isn’t always easy, so we want to make this sensitive situation as stress-free and easily accessible as possible.

Opening Times

The Sharing Shed will be open every morning before school and after school, the shed is located in our front playground. If you cannot access the shed during the open hours above, we can arrange a time for you to come into school during the day before 5pm or we can make up a parcel for you to collect if you prefer. Please contact the school office on 01933 276366 or email admin@theavenue-inf.northants.sch.uk

If any families of our children who maybe need a larger amount than is available in the shed to get in touch with the school office. We will sensitively judge their needs and make up parcels of essentials for them, as well as maybe helping them to access further support.
