West Somerset Food Cupboard Newsletter, November 2024

Dear friends and supporters of the West Somerset Food Cupboard,

Well, what a busy few months we have had at the Food Cupboard. I cannot thank the community enough for all the wonderful harvest donations that we received during the month of October. We had an influx of supplies following harvest services. I am always amazed at the support we have in the community. We are now entering our build up to Christmas and we are busy preparing to ensure nobody goes without at this special time. I have included our Christmas items list so we can add a little extra cheer to the bags.

We couldn’t do it without you

The support of the supermarkets and local businesses offering collection points and support in every way they can, is vital to the way we work. We gratefully receive generous donations on a weekly basis from the community thanks to these collection points and due to this continued support, we can offer a full bag to every recipient and ensure the pantry shelves are fully stocked.
