10th March 2018 Update and thanks
Dear Foodbank Supporters and Donors,
Thank you very much indeed for your ongoing support, which is so greatly appreciated.
Since the last update on 17th February, we have distributed food to 210 people, (which has included 51 children). Our volunteers have ‘signposted’ the adults visiting our four centres to further help and support in order to begin to move them out of the crisis they are in.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO DONATES
We all would like to thank everyone who donates to the foodbank – Churches – Schools – local businesses and organisations, and individual donors, who regularly donate food to help those in need locally.
We are always very pleased to receive individual and corporate cash donations, which help us to purchase bread and spread and other items, such as baby milk, nappies etc which we add to foodparcels as needed.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH INDEED ARBURY INNER WHEEL
