Foodbank Update

This week saw the total weight of donations from the residents of Oxhey Village to Watford Foodbank exceed one tonne! In addition to food and non-food items, residents have generously donated £60 that will help buy some of the essentials needed to support service users. This is an amazing achievement and one that is sincerely appreciated by the volunteers who run the foodbank. Thank you, everyone, for your continued support and generosity.

Watford Foodbank aims to provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to them in crisis. It is part of a national network of foodbanks, supported by The Christian Trussell Trust, working to help elevate poverty and hunger across the UK. Now more than ever, your donations are needed to support those impacted by the lockdown and outbreak of COVID-19.

We will be collecting donations, as usual, this Thursday morning from collection points around the village, listed below. Food items such as Long Life Milk, Long Life Fruit Juice, Sugar, Tinned Meat and Vegetables, Cereals and Biscuits are always needed. Likewise, Non Food items such as Toiletries, Household Cleanings agents and Personal Hygiene items. If you are unable to get to the shops, you can also Donate Money at www.watfordfoodbank.co.uk/donate-money/

We are also collecting on behalf of Watford New Hope Trust, a local charity supporting homeless and vulnerable people. They would really appreciate donations of fresh milk, porridge pots and pot noodles.
