The Helston and the Lizard Foodbank has experienced an exceptionally busy period during August providing 1,161 meals to local people in crisis. The school holiday period is always a demanding period for families battling to keep their heads above water as free school meals cease for the summer.
While the Foodbank volunteers have rallied well to deal with the huge surge in demand stocks are running very low in some areas. We urgently need donations of the following items:
Soup
Small packets of tea
Longlife milk
Longlife juice
Dried milk
Sponge puddings
Instant mash potatoes
Tomato ketchup, brown sauce, etc
Jam
Sweet treats such as chocolate etc
We currently have plenty of pasta and baked beans which are always popular donations but could benefit massively from the greater range of items listed.
Thank you for your help and support. Your donations and contributions make a critical difference to local families in crisis.
