Wellsford Foodbank is appealing for donations so that it can put together at least 100 Christmas food parcels for local families in need.
The appeal is being coordinated by Wellsford Plus events manager Tania Hamilton, who says this year the need is greater than ever.
“We understand things are tough at the moment and some may not be able to donate, but whatever people can spare will go to locals in need – our neighbours, our local kids, our struggling families where Christmas is the toughest time of all,” she said.
The foodbank is looking for non-perishable staples and treats, such as dried spaghetti, tinned fruit and vegetables, red or green jellies, small chocolate Santas and six-packs of mince pies or tarts.
Drop-off points are at Hammer Hardware in Station Road or Clever Endeavours at 1 Worker Road and the deadline is Tuesday, November 30.
Alternatively, money can be donated via the Wellsford Plus ASB account 12-3094-0015177-00, with the reference: FOODBANK
