HELP US RAISE £500 TO PREVENT HOLIDAY HUNGER IN AND AROUND KINGSBRIDGE.
Too many parents struggle to feed their children and themselves, during the six week summer break. The issue of hungry children gets worse during the summer holidays as children miss out on their free school meals and with the added financial pressure of food costs and childcare this can push low income families into extreme poverty. Please help us to assist local families to en- sure they avoid further debt or going without household essentials. Donations of picnic type foods for lunch on the go and extra ingredients for cooked meals are a considerable help to families for this extend- ed break from school.
To help, please donate to Kingsbridge Foodbank through
Justgiving.com or check with Gerrie what items they need on 07759 683567 or email
