One of the non food items you least want to run out of is toilet rolls. So we always try to include at least one but sadly our stock levels have plummeted and we are nearly out. Can you get us any toilet rolls this week plus few bars soap would also help thank you.

Congratulations to all our amazing volunteers the foodbank would not exist without you.

We are celebrating mums this weekend with lovely bags of treats going out but this has meant we have very few bars chocolate or small boxes chocolate to give out in coming weeks. Could you consider donating this weekend. Thank you
