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.

You may have seen that during the Coronavirus crisis demand on our Foodbank has risen to record high levels. But at the same time we have seen astonishing levels of donations from supermarkets, businesses, faith groups, street collections and many local residents.

We are very grateful to everyone helping us through this difficult time; helping us to ensure that despite the surge in demand, our stock levels remain very high and the Foodbank continues to operate.

We are very grateful for all of the donations but now find that we are overstocked on the following items and do not need any more for the time being -

Pasta/rice

Baked beans

Tinned soup

Breakfast cereal/porridge

Pasta sauce/ cooking sauces

Tinned fish

Long life milk

Tea/coffee
