The Big Difference

 

Where does the food come from?


The Big Difference is a Food Redistribution Project serving the community of Southampton, based at Above Bar Church. They work with charities and community groups in Southampton to help struggling families and the vulnerable who are facing food poverty. There is hope.

All the food at Highfield Church Centre comes from the Big Difference. They are a food project in the city gathering food from supermarkets and getting it to charities and organisations who use it to help the city. Highfield Student team often go and pick up excess fresh produce to make sure it doesn't go to waste, and at the same time support students. It's not always easy making ends meet when student loans only go so far. 

Highfield Students do a lot more than just pickup food. There's lots of ways we support students, and you can find out more here.

If you'd like to know more about the big difference you can check out their facebook page and if you'd like to make a donation or volunteer with them please email Sanjay at thebigdifference@abovebarchurch.org.uk.

So without further ado…   Prayer and Worship Evenings Tuesday 14th, 21st & 28th, 7pm for 7:30pm start   A time of prayer, worship and intercession for new students. We want to get together, into God's presence, and see where he leads us. It's a great chance to pray for freshers as they arrive, but also to align our hearts with Gods and to let him be known to us afresh. I can't say much about what it will look like, as that's up to God! but there'
