South Tyneside food bank launches drive to stock up shelves for those in need
‘Small donations make a big difference.’
A South Tyneside food bank is on a drive and determined to stock up its shelves later this month.
From 10am to 2pm on Wednesday, September 30 Bede’s Helping Hands is having a food drive, as it bids to help those in the area who most need it.
The most needed items are non-perishables. These include tinned goods (meat, fish, vegetables), pasta, rice, noodles, cereal, soup, pasta sauces, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, long-life milk, biscuits and snacks, toiletries and household essentials
The Glasgow Street-based charity said: “It’s hard work keeping up with the demands of our food bank and to help us keep our costs down we would love some help.
“We know lots of people are struggling, so even a tin of anything will be most appreciated.
“Small donations make a big difference.”
Bede’s Helping Hands is also organising Halloween fun for youngsters on Friday, October 30 and need sweets donations to help.
