Foodbank Update for March/ April 2025

At the Foodbank, things are going quite well.  We have new people nearly every week coming for help, as well as a constant stream of people we know well. Our stocks are much in demand and seem to diminish in quantity remarkably quickly despite continuing regular support from churches and individuals.  We are increasingly grateful for the financial support we have had over the past year  which allows us to place a regular order with the supermarket now for essential items.  So far funds are holding up well although we might have to launch another appeal towards the end of the year.

I attach a list of items we would be particularly glad to receive over the next couple of months.

Breakfast Cereal

Soup

Coffee

Biscuits

Tinned Fruit

Rice Pudding

Custard

Sugar

Shampoo

Shower Gel
