Dear friends and supporters of the West Somerset Food Cupboard,
I hope this message finds you well and that you’re enjoying the summer months, with all the exciting sporting events and opportunities to spend time with family and friends.
It’s been another busy month at the food cupboard, with many local people reaching out for support. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we have been able to keep the cupboard stocked, and we are truly grateful for the kindness and compassion shown by so many.
If we could request the following items that are most needed, we would be very grateful.
- Instant Coffee or Hot Chocolate
- Corned Beef/Tinned Ham/Spam
- Tinned Potatoes or Packets of Mash
- Tinned Ravioli, Macaroni Cheese Spaghetti Hoops
- Tinned Vegetarian meals
- Sugar
- Instant Pasta Sachets
- Cup-a-Soups
- Tinned Fruit
- Jars of Fish or Meat spread
- Jam and Marmalade
- Hot Dogs
- Savoury Crackers
- Squash or Fruit Juice
- Individual Juices or squash drinks
No fresh, chilled, frozen, damaged, out-of-date or home-made items please!
Please do not leave open or out of date items in our collection boxes.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.
