Dropping off well needed food items for Slough Foodbank

Thanks to the fabulous Slough GG crew for doing some drops at the foodbank and at supermarket drop points.

Sut, Manjit and Naomi grabbed a few extra bits from the list and donated to help the foodbank during the COVID period.

Well done to everyone doing what they can to support (even if that is just staying indoors to decrease risk of spread) during this time. You are all heroes <3

STAY SAFE, WE CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU IN PERSON :)

If you have any of the below items or if you could pick up a little extra for the foodbank please do, and grab yourself a good deed. Opening times are as follows: Please only donate these items that we currently need.

Given the current Coronavirus we must focus our efforts to getting basic food parcels out to people in need. We are operating with fewer volunteers, which makes sorting the food and packing the food parcels more time consuming. Please only donate these items that we currently need. Thank you for your understanding.
