“Food banks are great places, but it's sad that we've had to get to this point. The support you get from food banks makes you feel that there’s someone there, that you won’t starve. I’m glad Narthex Foodbank helped me through a very tough time.”
Narthex Client
“I was very lucky to get support from Narthex, It felt like a family to me, I was able to talk without any fear. Staff was very friendly and well trained they helped me in so many different issue. Without this help I would not be better off financially. If I didn’t have this help I would have been very stressed. ”
Narthex Client
“I was very stressed when I was in hospital last year for two week due to my heart problem. I wasn’t able to communicate with UC directly. Thank you to Narthex who made it easy for me. I emailed my medical report and they were able to log in to my UC account and upload the documents so my record could be up to date. Such a peace of mind that my benefit is not affected and family needs are been fulfilled.”
Narthex Client

I am so grateful that I actually recommended Narthex to my other friends because I could trust Narthex and its free too. They don’t charge any money for their services. Stay bless, Thank you”
