West Somerset Food Cupboard, August 2019
Food parcels since the project began in 2007 - 12,885 Food parcels so far this year - 950
Dear Friends,I have become used to the quantity of donations being a little less over August as so many people are away but that has not been the case this year. In fact donations have increased and we have full cupboards - very unusual at this time of the year! I can only say a huge thank you to all those of you who collect for us and donate through supermarkets, churches, etc. What a difference that has made.
You may have seen reports in the news about the small but growing number of schools that have food banks on site, reflecting the needs of vulnerable families in those communities. Agencies supporting school aged children and their families often collect boxes from us and I will be delivering some boxes to the school in Dulverton for use at that end of the moor, now that the new term has started.
A reminder for those of you who use social media the food cupboard has a Facebook page.
Newsletters and other updates appear on this and it is used to let people know which food items are most needed. If you are facebook user please look for ‘W S Food Cupboard' and if possible like and share so that it is seen as widely as possible.
Thank you again for your support.

MINEHEAD COMMUNITY SUPPER
Come and share with us a delicious two course supper giving you the

takes place on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month between 5pm and 6pm at The Beach Hotel, Minehead, and is attended by those who have been given a free meal voucher by local support agencies thereby giving them the opportunity to engage with others and enjoy a heart-warming healthy supper in pleasant surroundings.
To enable us to offset these costs we encourage the general public
to join us at this time and donate £5.00 for their supper.
