West Somerset Food Cupboard, October 2018
Food parcels since the project began in 2007 - 11,410 Food parcels so far this year - 1490
Dear Friends,
October has been another busy month. We have continued to receive harvest gifts which has been wonderful. We now have fairly full cupboards!
As we go into November our thoughts turn towards Christmas and the extra boxes and bags that will be needed. Apart from the usual items that go into the boxes, at Christmas there are extra items to help clients have a better time over the holiday:
Christmas puddings
Mince pies
Christmas cake
Tins/boxes of sweet and savoury biscuits
Shortbread
Chocolates and sweets
Ham
Pickles.
The Quantock Foodbank is now up and running and we are pleased to be working alongside them to meet the needs of a growing number of vulnerable people. As the colder weather sets in I expect the demand to rise further so your donations are all much needed. Thank you all again for your support.
Ann Gibbs, Co-ordinator

MINEHEAD COMMUNITY SUPPER
Come and share with us a delicious two course supper giving you the
opportunity to see what we offer at our community meal. This normally
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.
