The St. James Three Pillars Feeding the Homeless feeds and supports homeless people and most vulnerable in Northampton. A community charity in conjunction with Freemasons, many members of the public, local businesses and St. James Church . 

We supply food to people in Northampton on a Tuesday and Friday evening from 6pm until 8pm. Currently we are regularly feeding 200 people each week.

 Hot drinks, toiletries, sanitary items for the ladies, sleeping bags, tents when needed, all clothing, dog food, are all provided free of charge, when available.

A Welfare Team is also on hand to help with both social and physical health needs.

St. James Three Pillars began serving those in need on the 10th. January 2023 and continues to seek ways of improving and serving the growing number of those accessing the service.

BREAKING NEWS : 

WHAT A WEEK!
On Friday 2nd. October the Lodge of St James in Northampton very kindly donated £551 to Three Pillars.Then on Tuesday St James School donated the whole of their Harvest Festival collection — approximately 20 crates of food. That will quite literally save us hundreds and hundreds of pounds in food that we would otherwise have had to buy in ourselves for the meals we prepare each week.

Aaron attended the Willowbrook Lodge dinner in Kettering and spoke about the work we are doing at St James and the people we are supporting, and almost immediately after Aaron sat down their Worshipful Master announced that they would be giving Three Pillars a further £500.The following day Reverend Tony Avery from Welford Church in Northamptonshire, visited Aaron's home and brought their church’s Harvest Festival collection. The Harvest Festival collection from Lyncrest School will also be coming to Three Pillars.

We must also not forget the wonderful ongoing support we receive from Little Billing WI, who very kindly make regular monthly donations to Three Pillars. That continued support means a great deal to us and makes a real difference over the course of the year. It has been quite a week and we genuinely feel very blessed that so many people are beginning to recognise what we are doing at St James and, more importantly, want to help us continue helping others. What constantly amazes us is when people hear about the work of Three Pillars, they want to contribute in whatever way they can — whether that is through money, food, practical support or simply giving their time.

Three Pillars Community Card

Our Friends now have the opportunity to join the Three Pillars Community, which is essential for them to access additional support - meals and Welfare do not require membership. Upon registering, our Friends completed a questionnaire providing information such as living situation, household size, gender, age and ethnicity. There are two purposes for this: 

1. Ensure we are appropriately providing for them (eg. if they are registered as living in temporary housing, they cannot receive a tent). 

2. Allow us to apply for grants which require information on gender, ethnicity and age of those accessing our services. 

As with any change, it will take some time for us and our Friends to get used to, but this is a positive step in the right direction to ensure our Friends are supported as best they can be.
