1 Min Read The school holidays are just around the corner, which of course means that the kids will be off school for 6 whole weeks. For many, this is a fun time, but others are not so lucky.
The 6 weeks’ holidays are a time where many disadvantaged children miss out on their free school meals and will therefore go hungry. A sadly large problem in this country, close to 3 million children in the UK are at risk of going hungry over the holidays. This is why foodbanks face such huge stress over this period, and why we’re helping the West Cheshire Foodbank during this pressing time.
We’re accepting food donations at our offices at 3 Hilliards Court, Chester Business Park, Chester CH4 9QP. Any donations are appreciated, but the foodbank is really in need of the following:
- Tinned Meat / Fish
- Tinned Vegetables
- Tinned Potatoes
- Tinned Tomatoes
- Cuppa Soups
- Pot Noodles
- Instant Pasta
- Pasta Sauce
- Instant Mashed Potato
- Tinned / Instant Custard
- Tinned Fruit
- Biscuits
- Jams And Spreads
- UHT Milk
- UHT Fruit Juice
- Instant Coffee
They don’t really need:
- Tinned Soup
- Tinned Beans
- Pasta
- Tea Bags
Donations are being collected on Wednesday, July 24th, so please bring down what you can before then.
Thank you!
