The Gillingham Food Bank has sent this letter:
Dear Friends
It is quite a while since I had cause to circulate you with a list of food items that we are really in need of.
We had a successful collection at Waitrose a couple of weeks ago but failed to build up our stocks of the following. Would you be so good as to publicise this in your notices so folk know what to target when giving.
Tinned fruit
Rice pudding
Sweet treats
Savoury treats
Packet (NOT tinned) soup
Sponge puddings
For the record we do still have enormous stocks of:-
Tinned soup
Baked beans
Tea
Rice
Pasta
Once again may I say thank you for your continuing support. If for any reason your contact has changed please let me know and I will amend my mailing list.
Kind regards
Robert Rickards
