Faith Christian Group has been working to alleviate food poverty and end homelessness in Reading since the late 1980s. We run Reading’s main foodbank, a network of subsidised food pantries, nightly street outreach for rough sleepers, and a winter night shelter — all supported by volunteers from local churches and the wider community.
We offer support, help and friendship to any individuals and families in need. Our aim is to demonstrate Jesus through love, care and practical service.
We are thrilled and grateful to announce that in partnership with The Mustard Tree, CIRDIC and CommuniCare; we have been awarded funding from MHCLG as part of ending homelessness in communities grant.
