AUGUST 24, 2021 The Wragby food bank service will be run by a group of volunteers from the community, as part of The Lincoln Community Larder, a charity that has helped local people for over 30 years. It will operate from All Saints Church on Church Street, and provide a five mile radius of Wragby, with both collections and deliveries taking place every Tuesday between 3pm and 4pm. The project started off as an incentive for people to donate and collect from the church. As demand rose for this service, a “more formal” approach was taken and the community larder was opened this summer. Eric Sergeant, one of the co-ordinators of the larder, said: “My daughter is involved with the Martin outreach and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the larder has generally seen an uplift in new referrals, with delays in Universal Credit payments coming through and people losing jobs or living on reduced incomes.” It joins the other five larders across the Lincoln area to be opened by the charity, with others at Martin, Welton, Rosemary Lane, St Giles, and St John the Baptist Parish Church Hall. The opening times are:
