Today is the last day of the Tesco Winter Food Collection and if you pop along to Tesco today you’ll see volunteers in the green Trussell Trust bibs providing more information on how you can donate.
Great to speak to Phil and Claire from Godmanchester and Huntingdon Food Bank about the initiative and their work. I visited the food bank earlier this year to see the fantastic work they do to support the community.
Having volunteered at my local Trussell Trust foodbank in the past I understand how the rising cost of essentials is putting pressure on household budgets.
This is an annual event over the last weekend of November and seeks to collect donations of essentials for distribution to community groups and food banks. Phil is hoping to collect up to three tonnes of donations over the three days.
They’re collecting individual donations from your shopping or alternatively you can purchase and donate one of the pre-packed bags.
The team will be at Tesco Extra in Huntingdon until 5pm today. If you’re doing your weekly shop please consider doing it there and making a donation if you feel able to.
My thanks to all the team for volunteering over the past couple of days and also to Store Manager James for facilitating the stand.
