Jehovah-jireh Baby Bank was founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to ensure that no family in Lewisham or Greenwich should struggle to provide basic necessities for their children. The name "Jehovah-jireh" means "The Lord Will Provide," reflecting our belief in the power of community generosity and divine provision.
What started as a small initiative has grown into a vital community resource, supported entirely by volunteers who share our passion for helping families in need. We understand that parenthood can be challenging, and financial difficulties shouldn't prevent any child from having the essentials they need.
As a registered charity (1214509), we operate with full transparency and accountability, ensuring that every donation goes directly to supporting families in our community.
The prevention or relief of poverty or financial hardship for the public benefit in the Lewisham Borough and Greenwich Borough in London by providing essential baby clothes, equipment, toiletries and other essential items to families in need with young children.
A community where every child has access to the essentials they need to thrive, and where no parent feels alone in their journey. We envision strong, supported families who can focus on nurturing their children without the stress of financial hardship.
Dignity, compassion, and community are at the heart of everything we do. We treat every family with respect, provide non-judgemental support, and believe in the strength of neighbours helping neighbours.
