Wellsford foodbank Loaves & Fishes is running its annual festive season appeal for groceries and treats to help families in need have a brighter Christmas.
Chairperson Karen Lennon says this year the parcels are being changed to a Christmas Treat Box full of extras and goodies that families might struggle to buy, in addition to regular boxes of food staples.
Food can be dropped off at the Wellsford Co-Operating Church at 253 Rodney Street on Tuesday mornings between 10am and 11am until November 20, though the foodbank takes items at any time as there are always families that need help.
Festive food being sought includes Christmas tarts, boxed chocolates or scorched almonds, shortbread biscuits, tinned beetroot, tinned fruit salad, meringues, and red or green jelly.
Cash donations or out-of-hours drop-offs can also be arranged by emailing foodbankwellsford@gmail.com.
