When you do your shopping this week please keep in mind the Foodbank – helping people in times of crisis
The Foodbank provides local people with necessities, not luxuries. It allows people to collect the basic necessities they need to live.
This week 9th August the following items are needed:
We have seen a drastic rise in the number of people we are feeding over the last couple of weeks so your continued support is more important than ever before. We anticipate that we will feed even more people during the school summer holiday as families struggle to feed children who would normally get a free school meal.
Please see our current wish list below -
Sugar small bags - whilst controversial, is an item that our clients frequently request. For many people a sweetened hot drink often replaces a meal. The food we give people is aimed at putting calories into people who have had a very, very low calories diet. It is a short term diet.
Cereal - not porridge
Long life fruit juice
Long life sponge puddings
Fruit squash
Tinned fruit
Instant mash
Tinned meat pies
Pasta sauce
Peanut butter
Dried milk
Custard
UHT milk - Semi skimmed and full fat
Sanitary Pads - not tampons
Adult toothpaste
Ladies deoderant/Men's deoderant
Shower gel
Shaving foam
Washing up liquid
Clothes washing powder/liquid
Summer holiday treats - chocolate, sweets, crisps etc
Please note that our next fundraising event is a curry night at Tamarind Spice, Ewell on the 17th September. The cost is £20 per person for a set menu. This is a very popular event so if you would like to come I would recommend that you let me know as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
Many thanks for your continued support
