The Foodbank Donation Thread
Comments
-
Oh my!! No comments in months. I'm sure there is interest and people have just been too busy doing all that life thrusts at us. I assumed I'd just missed posts.
So - a reminder - we're almost in July! Kids will be off school soon. Parents (aka women for the most part) will need to cut back their work hours to look after kids. so reduced wages, no option of doing overtime and kids who aren't getting school meals. They need our help!!!
And so - start now looking at the twofers on offer. Do you need 3 bags of crisps on a buy 2 get one free offer? Can you drop one in the foodbank bin at Tescos? What about those apps that give you freebies that you never use as you're not vegan, don't like mayo, would never eat chocolate? Use them and drop the stuff in the bin!!!
In a few weeks the foodbanks need to be fully stocked and we all need to ensure that happens. These may not be your circle of friends and may think somehow they deserve to be struggling due to their life choices. But things happen to the best and the worst of us that can change our circumstances in a flash and make depending on the kindness of strangers the only way to get by.
And don't forget the sunscreen!!!!!

To add to what @Brie has said so well don’t let children be without because of their parents lifestyle choices.
