Members support them throughout the year \u2013<br \/>\nthey did so throughout lockdown earlier this year by donating cleaning and toiletry items as well<br \/>\nas children\u2019s clothing.<br \/>\nThey have again collected from members, neighbours and friends, this time for tinned and dried<br \/>\nfoods \u2013 utilising \u2018the box\u2019 at the end of driveways of some members and the response has been<br \/>\nfantastic!<br \/>\nOne of the Food Bank organisers told Soroptimists that the demand for their food boxes \u2013<br \/>\nenough to feed a family for 3 days \u2013 has risen by 55% in the last few weeks alone! This is a<br \/>\ntremendous rise and obviously means additional resources are needed. They are expecting the<br \/>\ndemand to rise even more when furlough ends at the end of this month.<br \/>\nPresident Trish Smith and President Elect Jackie Prince have made two deliveries to the Cannock<br \/>\nFood Bank in the last couple of weeks, whilst Soroptimists Emma Hodges and Olivia Lyons will<br \/>\nbe delivering to Rugeley Food Bank; a total of over 400 items of food \u2013 and two large sacks of<br \/>\npotatoes have been taken to Cannock Food Bank! Staff were thrilled \u2013 these donations mean<br \/>\nthat more families in our area will be fed.<br \/>\nItems particularly needed at the moment are tinned meats, including pies, which can be used to<br \/>\nmake a hot meal; tinned vegetables to go with the meat; tinned rice pudding; squash and UHT<br \/>\nmilk. There are several collection points in supermarkets in the town or items can be delivered<br \/>\ndirectly to the Food Bank at Coniston Hall, Cecil Street, WS11 5HG. Although fresh foods are<br \/>\nnot accepted, the Food Bank is now making one exception \u2013 and is happy to accept 25kg sacks<br \/>\nof potatoes! They then split the sacks into the individual boxes: this way proves more cost<br \/>\neffective than buying tins of potatoes.<br \/>\nCannock &amp;amp; District Soroptimists are delighted to continue to help people locally and grateful to<br \/>\nall who have responded to their many requests.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4568\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2020\/10\/Food-collection-Large-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2020\/10\/Food-collection-Large-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2020\/10\/Food-collection-Large.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4567\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2020\/10\/Food-bank-staff-Soroptimist-Jackie-Prince-Trish-Smith-President-SI-CD-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2020\/10\/Food-bank-staff-Soroptimist-Jackie-Prince-Trish-Smith-President-SI-CD-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2020\/10\/Food-bank-staff-Soroptimist-Jackie-Prince-Trish-Smith-President-SI-CD.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2020\/10\/Food-bank.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4566\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2020\/10\/Food-bank-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2020\/10\/Food-bank-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2020\/10\/Food-bank-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2020\/10\/Food-bank.jpg 810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a>Photo attached: 1.
