All
For the last few years the wife and I have donated food to the local foodbank at this time of year. When I was working I would pop into all the different supermarkets and see what was on offer to max our buying power. As I now am retired the amount I visit is greatly reduced.
Could I asked that you keep an eye out for me and let me know what and where? Please remember these will need to be from shops that are national.
We aim to make 10 small hampers of the sort of food we consider normal but to some they are pure luxury.
Things that we normally include are:
Tinned Meat
Tinned Pies
Tinned Fruit
Box of Biscuits
Box of Chocolates
Box of Sweeties
You can see by the above that to most of us these are every day items but something that loads of people cant even imagine buying. We try to work to a budget of £20 per hamper so the cheaper we buy things the more equally deserving people as us recieve. Although not parishioners our local church is part of the Trussel Trust and distribute them.
Please keep your eyes peeled
