The Trussell Trust (
www.trusselltrust.org) is working in
partnership with Pershore Benefice to create a Food Bank for Pershore. Although
the website says that the Pershore Food Bank is still under development, food is
already being collected and distributed to about 40 Pershore families, who find
themselves in need of a little extra support whilst they get through difficult
times.
If you would like to make a donation of food, either tinned or packet,
please drop whatever you can spare in to Angela Fitch at 3 King William IV Close
(off Church Street) – just leave it in the porch if Angela is out. All donations
will be delivered to the Food Bank in Pershore on a weekly basis. Unfortunately,
fresh, chilled and frozen foods can’t be taken, as the Food Bank lacks storage
facilities for these, but all other contributions are very gratefully
received.
