Brent Foodbank: Could you volunteer to collect food donations for just 3 hours in the first week of July?

 
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
  • Saturday 4th July between 10 and and 10 pm
What do you do next?

Please Message us via the Message button on our Facebook page, or leave a comment, and we will be in touch with more info.

    Is there a way of donating if you don't and won't shop at Tesco, please?

    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.
