This Week’s Foodbank Needs
Hello all,
Thanks as always for your continued support and generous donations.
Sadly we are experiencing an increase in homeless clients and would therefore ask if you could try to donate food items which can be eaten without any cooking facilities. Or consider other items which may be of use such as can openers, wet wipes etc.
For example there are individual cereals where you can pour the milk directly into the box, cans of meat and tuna can last well and go a long way with some bread. Tinned custard or fruit etc are also very welcome.
Here is a general update for this week of the items which are most needed:
Many thanks,
The Foodbank Team.
