FOODBANK – REVERSE ADVENT CALENDAR

NEXT COLLECTION DATE IS DECEMBER 4th 2004

I realise that we’ve only just about finished Harvest and still have a couple of months to go before we celebrate Christmas but I hope you understand that at the Rutland Foodbank we would like your Christmas donations to reach us by late November/early December so we have time to distribute them in good time.

I’m pleased to attach this year’s Reverse Advent Calendar. This includes suggestions for what you might donate in the period leading up to Christmas. Please note we are not expecting anyone to donate the full calendar, rather that you team up with your family & friends or a local group to collect between you.

As the nights get darker and the weather cooler we know that there will be more households having to make difficult choices to eat or heat so we are expecting to be busy. Our wonderful volunteers (as always) are ready to respond and help those who are struggling across Rutland. Due to the wonderful support across the county we are still able to pack and deliver a 7-day emergency food & toiletries parcel.

In the coming weeks we’ll be adding seasonal foods and treats to the our emergency food parcels to bring a little joy to our clients.

Thank you for your ongoing support, together we create a strong and supportive community network, truly Multum in Parvo (Much in Little)

As always, if you have any comments or questions please do get in touch.

Kind regards,
