August News

August has been a busy month, with some of our volunteers on holiday the rest of the crew have been working extra hard to fill the gaps. The number of meals issued was 5,592. to 273 Adults and 193 Children, the total value of the food parcels issued in August was £19,115.98. Some days we struggle to keep up with the demand, the next day can be relatively calm. One day it will be all single people the next will be all families, there is just no way you can predict what the week will bring.

We normally get a boost to our stock in August from the Greenbelt Festival held over the Bank Holiday weekend but this year the donations went to the Trussel Trust. Our trusty volunteers sprang to the rescue and spent a day collecting in Sainsburys Kettering in order to restock our shelves. A big thankyou to all who donated and helped out, your contributions make a massive difference. A big thankyou to all  who have donated surplus fruit and veg from their allotments and gardens these little extras make a big difference to those who are struggling.
