The last few months have seen immense suffering and hardship from storms and flooding. However the outbreak of the Coronavirus has quite literally changed everyones lives and turned society upside down.However, The Salvation Army is resolute and strong and just as we did in the Spanish Flu pandemic, and during the bombing and the Blitz we will carry on, doing what we can to support people and communities in the ways that we can, within the Government guidelines.In true Salvation Army Spirit, our greatest strength is our flexible, responsive local presence. Right now, each of our 650 corps and community centres will know exactly what the most effective things are to do. We are not just responding to the virus impact in one or two ways, but dozens and dozens of different ways, from food banks to counselling, from supporting NHS isolation units to checking up on people who are living alonePlease give what you can to enable us to help as many people as possible!
In Maidenhead and surrounding area we are able to provide hot food and packed lunches to the homeless and vulnerable alongside getting basic provisions to those who are isolating. We are also running errands such as picking up prescriptions and milk and bread for the elderly and those who based on illness are unable to go out.
