BOM Logo 2Bags of Mercy in Southampton


Bags of Mercy is currently in the process of being handed over to Southampton Vineyard Church (SVC) but was started & run by Mercy Vineyard Church. We’re delighted to have other churches and individuals partnering with us; our vision is to serve our city alongside the whole body of Christ. If you’d like to help out, you can bring all or part of the contents of a bag (see items lists below) to one of the Basics Bank collection points around the city. Locations can be found on the Southampton City Mission website. The donated items will then be carefully packed into specially designed bags and distribute where and when needed. We ask that all items be new/unused and of good quality so that recipients feel blessed and valued. Thanks for your generosity! Or if you’d prefer someone to do the shopping for you, we have a keen team of shoppers who will happily do so! You can make a donation by ringing the Southampton Vineyard Church Office on 02380 556955 or email hello@svc.church

We hope to have the updated leaflets, posters and printed shopping lists available shortly for distribution to churches/groups and are working on updating the website with all the new contact details. Please contact SVC's church office (details above) with any enquiries.

We ask that all items be new/unused and of good quality so that recipients feel blessed and valued. Thanks for your generosity!
