Dear friends and supporters of the West Somerset Food Cupboard,
Thank you for supporting the West Somerset Food Cupboard by donating food items for local distribution.
If we could request the following items that are most needed, we would be very grateful.
- UHT Milk 1 litre
- Crisps and Savoury Snacks
- Pasta ‘n’ Sauce sachets & Rice Sachets
- Cup a Soups
- Savoury Crackers
- Hotdogs, Meatballs or Corned Beef tins
- Pasta Sauce or Curry Sauce
No fresh, chilled, frozen, damaged, out-of-date or home-made items please!
Please do not leave open or out of date items in our collection boxes.
We try and include items in our packs that will allow people that may find themselves homeless or in temporary accommodation the opportunity to have as varied a diet as possible.
Thank you as always, nothing ever gets wasted. If you can offer some alternative diet items that would also be great. We have suddenly had a demand for gluten free and dairy free produce, and we are currently supporting a number of families with these requirements.
Items can be dropped on at one of numerous drop off locations…
If you ever are unsure what you would like to donate or feel unsure that what you are donating is useful, we are always grateful for monetary donations too which is another way that you could help. You can be sure that the money will go towards projects that will offer further food support to the community.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of you for your incredible support with our Easter donations this year.
Thanks to your generosity, we have been able to distribute Easter eggs to all our pantry members, as well as the agencies we support. This simply would not have been possible without the kindness and commitment shown by our community.
We are especially grateful to our local supermarkets for their generous donations, and to Webbers Estate Agents and Amanda Louise Funeral Directors for kindly collecting eggs on our behalf.
Your support has made a real difference, and we are truly appreciative of everything you have contributed.
Like all hard-working organisations, our work must continue. With the world becoming increasingly uncertain, rising food prices, and growing pressure on household budgets, it is more important than ever that we keep going to ensure no one in Minehead goes hungry. Your support is needed now more than ever.
