9 people fed!
This week’s food bank has supplied essential food items to 9 people with 5 food parcels 😲 We’re so glad to have been able to help so many people during such a hard time 💙
Volunteer Driver Needed
Did you know that in order to keep our food bank stocked and running, our staff takes time out of their busy work days and weekends to collect from 6 different stores across Bolton? This includes Farnworth, Breightmet and Middlebrooke. 😲
With the increase in demand and taking on more collections to meet that demand our team has been struggling to meet all of these collections and keep up with our usual standard of work behind the scenes.
With this in in mind we’re asking for help. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated but we’re looking for someone who can take on the collections, even if all you can do is the Saturday pickups it would be a massive help to us. All you’d need is a valid UK drivers license, we have a van you can use if needed. 💙
If you or someone you know is able to volunteer your time please contact us to arrange a meeting so we can discuss the details, thank you 😊
