Dear friends and supporters of the West Somerset Food Cupboard,
We have been busy collecting breakfast bars and drinks for the schools and have receive good support for that and packs will be going out this week in readiness of the new academic year.
If we could request the following items that are most needed, we would be very grateful.
- Instant Coffee
- Jam and Marmalade
- Tinned Potatoes/Packets of Mash
- UHT Milk
- Sugar
- Crackers/Savoury Snacks/Crisps
- Individual juices or squash drinks
- Individual puddings, rice pudding/custard
- Jars of fish or meat paste
- Breakfast bars/porridge pots
- Cuppa soups
- Tins of Ravioli/Macaroni Cheese
No fresh, chilled, frozen, damaged, out-of-date or home-made items please!
Please do not leave open or out of date items in our collection boxes.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.
Join Us on a Sponsored Walk
Robson’s Funeral Services are running a charity event for us on Saturday, 10th October. We are extremely grateful for their support and want to try and ensure this proves to be a success. I have attached a poster with all the details and if anyone fancies getting involved, please put the date in your diary. It should be full for everyone.
