West Somerset Food Cupboard, August 2022
Dear friends and supporters of the West Somerset Food Cupboard
What a scorcher of a month July has been! But record-breaking temperatures haven't put the food cupboard team off their stride, nor stopped our generous donors from donating.
We are very grateful to the green fingered veg and fruit growers of Porlock and Dunster allotments for sharing their produce with us, as well as to the Good Vibe Veg team in Horner.
Just a note to any other local growers - we can only receive donations of fresh produce on Mondays or early Tuesday mornings, and only having agreed a drop-off time with a member of the team. Thank you.
As well as our busy Tuesdays at the Local Pantry, the West Somerset Food Cupboard team remain committed to ensuring that free parcels of non-perishable food, generously donated by members of the local community, are always available to those in need. Throughout July 77 emergency food parcels were distributed across the Minehead, Alcombe, Dunster, Carhampton, Timberscombe, Wootton Courtenay and Porlock area.
Our supplies are fairly healthy this month but if you'd like to help, any non-perishable food items are gratefully received.
This month we are low on:
Individual snacks - crisps, breakfast bars etc
Biscuits - savoury and sweet
Hot chocolate
Thank you all for the part that you play
From Ali, Mike and the West Somerset Food Cupboard team
