A vibrant new space for support and connection is coming to Whitefield.
Champions of Destiny Foundation (CODEF), a Christian voluntary organisation, is delighted to announce the launch of a new Free Food Pantry and Digital Café at Elms Community Centre. Our doors open for the very first time on Saturday, 22nd August, marking the start of an ongoing weekly project running every Saturday from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM.
A Warm Welcome for Everyone
Whether you need some food support, or you want to master your digital skills, this space is for you.
Free crisis food support: Our food pantry provides essential groceries entirely free of charge for local residents and families who are finding things tough.
No booking, referrals, or registration: You never need a voucher, a referral, or to sign up beforehand. Just turn up on the day whenever our doors are open.
Friendly, hands-on digital guidance: Pull up a chair and enjoy a warm cup of tea or coffee while our friendly team helps you with your phone, tablet, or computer. We can guide you step-by-step through managing emails, filling out online forms, or just getting connected.
