SUPPORTING FOOD BANKS: JULY ACTIVITY

The club is helping local food banks through donations from rotarians lunch dues and food which is kindly being donated by Morrison's.
This is our July activity.


UPDATE: JULY 3:

This week we have kindly been donated food by Morrisons at their Baxter's Lane branch in St Helens.

Last Sunday President Len and Rotarian Les Clancy collected a pallet of provisions which they have distributed to Ashton Churches Together (ACT) and St John's Church Earlestown. A further pallet was collected on Wednesday and Rotarian David Smith assisted Len and Les in dispersal.

We expressly thank Morrison's for their generosity. This will supplement our weekly meal donation monies from participating Rotarians.

We intend to include other food banks in our service area when we establish contacts.

UPDATE: JULY 10

This week we have continued distributing food, using members lunch dues to purchase £400 from COSTCO.

Rotarian Alan Pomfret kindly purchased the food for distribution.

Our drop off this week has been to:

Crownway Community Centre, The Brick Wigan, Ashton Churches Together (ACT), St John's Foodbank Earlestown)
