Soroptimists worldwide Stand Up for Women, enabling, educating and empowering women in any way they can, which is why this year they decided to provide as many gifts for women as they could.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the amazing generosity of members and friends, which included donations from a pharmaceutical company, they have been able to provide 150 gifts \u2013 one for every woman who will be in need to help from local food banks this year!<\/p>\n<p>Nine Soroptimists spent a festive afternoon wrapping all of the gifts which they then delivered to manager Vicky at the Food Bank.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the gifts for the women they have taken chocolates, biscuits, other food items and some gifts for children.\u00a0 Vicky was really touched by the donation, saying we had no idea how much the gifts will mean to the women and families she sees.\u00a0 Cannock &amp; District Soroptimists are thrilled to be able to help some local women and wish them all a happy Christmas.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos : <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Cannock Soroptimists wrapping the gifts, <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/02\/SI-CD-gift-wrapping-for-food-bank-23-1a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5120\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/02\/SI-CD-gift-wrapping-for-food-bank-23-1a-300x210.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/02\/SI-CD-gift-wrapping-for-food-bank-23-1a-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/02\/SI-CD-gift-wrapping-for-food-bank-23-1a.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>With the gifts wrapped;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/02\/SI-CD-gift-wrapping-for-food-bank-23-9.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5119\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/02\/SI-CD-gift-wrapping-for-food-bank-23-9-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/02\/SI-CD-gift-wrapping-for-food-bank-23-9-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/02\/SI-CD-gift-wrapping-for-food-bank-23-9.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>A<\/a>nd at the food bank: l to r: Soroptimists Jackie Prince; Trish Mellor; Julia Kenny; Jill Mason; Carole Holdcroft [Lead Team President]<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/02\/SI-CD-deliver-to-food-bank-Dec-2023-crop.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5121\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/02\/SI-CD-deliver-to-food-bank-Dec-2023-crop-300x222.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/02\/SI-CD-deliver-to-food-bank-Dec-2023-crop-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2024\/02\/SI-CD-deliver-to-food-bank-Dec-2023-crop.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many years Cannock and District Soroptimists have supported local Food banks \u2013 and like&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":204,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5118","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Christmas Gifts for the Foodbank | News | Blog | Events | SI Cannock and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Cannock and District : Blog &amp; News : Christmas Gifts for the Foodbank : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Cannock and District .
