Community groups delivering food to vulnerable people in Wolverhampton
Amid the lockdown and uncertainty caused by coronavirus, heart-warming gestures are helping to support communities.
In Wolverhampton, this is being seen at a church and a primary school, where food is being delivered to vulnerable residents.
The Excel Church, in Bilston, is running a foodbank with the help of about 12 volunteers.
They have been giving up their time to deliver parcels to households where people are struggling for money or are self-isolating.
Among the recipients is Bilston Church of England Primary School, which is also delivering packed lunches to some pupils.
Ettingshall Councillor Beverley Momenabadi has been helping to deliver food for both the church and school, alongside Wolverhampton resident Daniel Jay Smith.
Councillor Momenabadi said: "It has been a huge privilege to have been able to volunteer for Excel Church over the past few weeks.
"They are doing an incredible job to make sure those most in need in our community are supported through the Covid-19 pandemic.
"What has kept me motivated and my spirits high over the weeks has been the dedication of the volunteers that I've met along the way.
"Together, we are making a huge difference and I'm incredibly proud of everyone who has been involved in making sure we support one another."
The councillor secured a £500 grant from Grantham Yorke Trust to help purchase items for the church's foodbank.
A video of the church's foodbank work has been documented by a Wolverhampton-based filmmaker, called Sankofa Films.
