Dear Editor,
A message to Wembley Matters readers:
Please, buy just one item for the Food Bank every time you shop. Don't think it's not worth doing, as it is so much better than not giving any. Collectively it will make a huge difference if every shopper did this, every time they shopped!
If you can give more, of course that would be really appreciated. Food Banks are really struggling with the increased demands, especially in winter when there are heating bills to pay. Heat or Eat is not just a slogan, it is reality for so many.
Government and supermarkets give little, and so Food Banks are reliant on the generosity of the Public.
So please, just one item is better than none! (Many tinned items are under £1)
Share this with family, friends, colleagues and everyone you know. If you belong to a church or any organisation, please put this up on the notice board.
This small gesture can make a big difference to so many people's lives!

Perhaps have food bank collection points in betting shops and shops selling alcohol and fireworks?
ReplyDeleteSo much money is wasted on these - millions of pounds worth of money must be spent on highly polluting fireworks in Brent alone each year?
Thst money could be spent on food and other essentials.
Excellent idea!
DeleteI think supermarkets could have a sign under the price and 'special offer' signs on the shelves that say 'food banks would really appreciate this donation' - it would remind people as they went around doing their shopping, by the time you are leaving and see the food donation point, it is too late
ReplyDeleteOr you could just donate money online directly to a foodbank so that they can gather funds and bulk buy what's needed?
