Salvation Army Foodbank – good news update and request list

Things are going well but we are still operating on limited hours, opening 10am - 1pm Monday to Friday at present.  We are still working by a contactless service having trolleys outside of the building for people to put donations on.  We then quarantine all donations for 72 hours.  We are limiting the number of volunteers currently working but things are running well though.  We are receiving around 40 referrals a week at the moment.  

We are currently in need of the following:  toothpaste, toothbrushes, men’s & ladies’ deodorant, soap powder, tinned rice pudding, tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned spaghetti hoops & jars of jam.  Any help with these would be greatly appreciated.

For those who are not able to donate food to us, we do have a just giving page, where people can donate money to us, which enables us to go out and purchase food ourselves.  Here is the link www.justgiving.com/fundraising/the-salvation-army-preston-corps

Thank you to everyone that has donated to our emergency food provision and continues to do so.  [Claire Bowerman]
