... Comments

When you do your shopping this week please keep in mind the Foodbank – helping people in times of crisis

The Foodbank provides local people with necessities, not luxuries. It allows people to collect the basic necessities they need to live.

This week 9th August the following items are needed: 

We have seen a drastic rise in the number of people we are feeding over the last couple of weeks so your continued support is more important than ever before. We anticipate that we will feed even more people during the school summer holiday as families struggle to feed children who would normally get a free school meal.

Please see our current wish list below -

Sugar small bags - whilst controversial, is an item that our clients  frequently request. For many people a sweetened hot drink often replaces a meal. The food we give people is aimed at putting calories into people who have had a very, very low calories diet. It is a short term diet.

Cereal - not porridge

Long life fruit juice

Long life sponge puddings

Fruit squash

Tinned fruit

Instant mash

Tinned meat pies

Pasta sauce

Peanut butter

Dried milk

Custard

UHT milk - Semi skimmed and full fat

Sanitary Pads - not tampons

Adult toothpaste

Ladies deoderant/Men's deoderant

Shower gel

Shaving foam

Washing up liquid

Clothes washing powder/liquid

Summer holiday treats - chocolate, sweets, crisps etc

Please note that our next fundraising event is a curry night at Tamarind Spice, Ewell on the 17th September. The cost is £20 per person for a set menu. This is a very popular event so if you would like to come I would recommend that you let me know as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

 

Many thanks for your continued support
