The Rainbow Centre

• On 18th July 2005 we will reach our 20th
  Birthday! During the intervening years, what
  started out as a small Christian charity helping
  local people deal with personal, emotional and
  family problems, has become a major operation
  assisting people with a range of social support.
• We cater for parents, children, the lonely, the
  isolated, the socially excluded and the homeless
  in a variety of ways, and I invite you to see for
  yourselves what we do in the following pages.
  Where better to start than introduce you to our
  dedicated workforce of over 150 volunteers!

• This is a mobile soup and sandwiches facility,
  which is available at two strategic locations in
  Folkestone three nights a week (see below). Food
  is prepared at St Saviour's Church kitchen, and
  loaded into the back of an estate car, sometimes
  along with hot pies etc. donated by commercial
  enterprises in town. Food is then distributed to
  the homeless, the hungry and those who need us.
• We are currently seeking a new vehicle, something
  on the lines of an old ambulance or service
  support vehicle, so that we can distribute more
  than just food. Clothing, towels, soap, shaving
  gear, baby goods, etc. etc. are all things given
  out at the centre, but we could do with a larger
  vehicle from which to distribute these items. So
  if you are reading this, and think you can help,
  please use the 'Contact Us' link to the left.
  Thank you.
