Request from Brent Foodback
At Brent Foodbank we are looking for volunteers to help us with a
food collection on 2 / 3 / 4 July - including at Tesco Extra Wembley
(across from Ikea) and Tesco Metro Wembley Central - and we have a
feeling that some Wembley Matters readers might be interested in helping out, or
are involved with youth groups or other groups who also might. Brent Foodbank page at
https://www.facebook.com/Brentfoodbankcollection
There's more info on the page but these are the essentials:
13
million people live below the poverty line. Our foodbank provides a
minimum of 3 days emergency food and support to local Brent residents in
crisis.
On 2nd, 3rd and 4th July 2015, Tesco stores nationwide are hosting a food collection to support the UK's foodbanks.
What can you do to help?
We
need 100 of you to each give 3 hours of your time to greet shoppers at 3
Brent stores and ask them to buy an item from our shopping list.
Where do we need you?
We are greeting shoppers and collecting food items at the following stores:
- Tesco Extra Wembley (across from Ikea)
- Tesco Metro Harlesden
- Tesco Metro Wembley Central
When are we collecting food?
We're asking you to sign up to volunteer for 3 hours on any of the following days:
- Thursday 2nd July between 9 am and 6 pm
- Friday 3rd July between 10 am and 10 pm

Thank you Martin very much. Anyone who doesn't use Facebook and who is interested can contact me on isobelchild@hotmail.com
Is there a way of donating if you don't and won't shop at Tesco, please?
M&S, Waitrose, Wholefoods, OrganicPlanet since Horsemeat scandal?
Nope, not that - don't actually shop at any of those, I'm a Lidl devotee with the odd foray to Iceland and Sainsburys. (One cat won't eat Lidl cat food. Snob.) Plus some local small shops.
Sorted, anyhow. I had some bags of loose tea with eighteen months to run, which I didn't need, so they've gone to the Ashford Place collection at the local church.
Tell us more Alison, please. I'm on the edge of my seat.
