Our current two year project to Stop Food Poverty continues as we enter the New Year. A Christmas Quiz and Sing-a-long raised £120 on the night with a further £50 donated later. All for Harrogate and District Food Bank. We contacted Dawn at the food bank to find out what was needed. A trip to Aldi for tins of meat, fish, vegetables, rice pudding and fruit plus UHT milk, washing up liquid and laundry pods filled a boot. The total weight of nearly 50kg. Delivered to Stuart at Starbeck on 16th January
We also support St Cuthbert’s church Food Bank in Pateley Bridge. The Christmas demand left them short of supplies. Liz, our Club contact with St Cuthbert, went shopping. She spent £50 (29kg). And, it’s not only people who go hungry when the money is tight – so do their pets.
