The box is closing and we are no longer stocking it. It will be going to be a stop gap box while repairs are being done to other boxes in the valley. A big thank you to everyone who has supported it over the last 14 months. I'm sure it has helped people along the way over this time. The Whitewell Bottom box is available and the other boxes in the valley.

I'm trying to make the right decision for the future of the box. I will no longer be working from home from June so I am wondering if anyone else would be interested in running the box, it would not have to necessarily stay in the same location. It could also be that its time for it go to another area of Rossendale - Weir and Balladen don't have boxes, however there may still be a purpose for it in the Lumb / Water area.

We have a wooden purpose built box which could stay where it is or be relocated and food is supplied via donations. The main work is topping it up each day and going once a week to collect food which is organised by the Food Box Scheme. The food box hosts work together on donations and support each other with their boxes. If you are interested in getting involved with this worthwhile cause please message the page.

We do prefer to stick to food and toiletries as donations which you are welcome to put in the box or you can message the page.

Lumb Food Box

The box is part of the Rossendale Food Box Scheme and was set up to help those struggling during the Covid-19 crisis, the effects of which may last for some time. It is about sharing in the community and is for anyone who has need with no questions asked. People may be struggling for many different reasons such as financial, transport, health or needing to self-isolate. I hope that it benefits our community and helps some people along the way.
