Wednesday 21st December 2021, Rotarians, their partners and members of 285 Squadron Air Cadets, packed and wrapped 100 Christmas Hampers for local families in need at the Old Lodge Lane Purley Baptist Church Food Stop. Our Club also donated £500 towards the £5,000 needed for the project.

The results were outstanding, with the hampers full of everything a family needed, from meat or chosen alternatives, fresh vegetables, Christmas pudding, chocolates, crackers and many other treats.

The Food Stop provide such a valuable service, including a weekly shop, help and advice on personal issues and finding additional support where necessary to many families and others in serious need within our local community and it was an honour to help their outstanding work.
