Dear Friends,
Visitors are always welcome if people want to find out more about how we operate - we are there every Monday and Thursday morning, all year round, so please call in if you are passing. If you time it right we can also offer you a cup of coffee or tea!
Donations are still flowing in which is brilliant because the demand for boxes is not decreasing and we regularly have to pack extra each week. Currently we have plentiful supplies of baked beans, pasta and soup, enough to last several weeks. However, we really do need things like UHT milk, fruit juice, tinned tomatoes, tinned potatoes, peas and carrots. We would also be grateful for packets of savoury biscuits. Over the next month we will be gathering items for Easter boxes - we already have a lot of chocolates and sweets that can be given as extras at Easter but we will also put in additional products, such as ham, savoury snacks, additional tinned vegetables and so on. Any donations that can help us with this will be most welcome.
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.
