Christmas Hampers for Godmanchester Foodbank
I am collecting for the Godmanchester Foodbank Christmas
Hampers again this year, as it has been such a success for the
last couple of years.
Most of us look forward to Christmas but for some it can be a
very difficult time. I thought that our village could again show
support to some of those people in our own local community
who may be struggling.
Godmanchester Foodbank operate all through out the year
supporting people in Huntingdon that are referred to them,
with food and other assistance.
Christmas can be a particularly demanding time, which is
where we come in! I am asking that you fill a small box or
large bag with some non perishable foods, such as tins, pack-
ets, rice, pasta, etc. and also some nice Christmas treats such
as chocolate, biscuits, sweets, cake, etc. Your donated items
will help towards making up Christmas Hampers for people
who just can’t afford those luxuries and will help make a
difference for them at this time of year. The Foodbank said the
children loved the sweets and chocolate they got last year.
I will need your donations by the
11th December
, at the lat-
est, so that I can then get them to Godmanchester Foodbank
for them to make up the hampers and distribute them in time
for Christmas.
Please contact me if you require further details.
