Dear Sir,
Could I take this opportunity to the thank all those who donated non perishable food to the Foodbank, based at St Clare’s Church. My wife and myself were overwhelmed by the generosity of the people in this area.
At the Foodbank we rely on commercial businesses to support us, this year could we thank Tallents (G’stamp) Engineering, Hitachi, and Ebac, all on the Business Park, for all their support. Also Tesco’s and Wilkinson’s supermarkets for their continued help, and finally we should like to give a very special thank you to many schools, and Churches, on the town, who chose the Foodbank as their nominated Christmas charity. It is wonderful that so many organisations are so community spirited that they are willing to support local people who find themselves in food poverty.
Can I urge anyone who find themselves in a situation where they are unable to put food on the table for themselves or their family, to talk to one of the agencies that issue vouchers which can be exchanged for food. If you need help there are ways that the foodbank can help you.
Many thanks to you all
Ernie and June Temple
Foodbank Co-ordinators.
