CHRISTMAS PARCELS
Each Christmas we deliver approx. 350 food parcels locally. Recipients include pensioners, families with young children and youngsters leaving care. We take advice from professional agencies to identify those most in need.
Club members collect non-perishable food donated by shoppers outside local supermarkets during early/mid-December, with an estimated value of some £10k.
Moving, storing, preparing and delivering so much food involves all club members, partners and many helpers. The aim is to deliver the parcels before Christmas.
