We collect food for the Reading Churches Drop in Centre (CIRDIC)
Based in Reading CIRDIC is recognised as a safe and welcoming drop in centre for homeless people who are disadvantaged and living in the local community.
It is a drop-in-centre, established in 1990 because a group of local Christians wanted to respond to the needs of the homeless and clearly disadvantaged people in Reading. Originally the aim was to provide a welcoming place in which to offer food and clothing. Now, in response to growing needs, the Centre offers a wide range of support services to our guests.
