Christmas Pudding support for Narberth Foodbank
The Pembrokeshire Foodbank, based in Narberth received a welcome present for Christmas from the members of the Narberth & Whitland Rotary Club earlier this month
CHRISTMAS PUDDINGS AND FOOD PARCELS
The
Pembrokeshire Foodbank, based in Narberth received a welcome present for
Christmas from the members of the Narberth & Whitland Rotary Club earlier
this month. This has supplemented the work done by other organisations such as
the Narberth Primary School, Bloomfield Community Centre and many church
congregations who all support this worthwhile charity obtaining and providing
food for those people desperately in need in times of financial personal crisis.
There are three other centres of the Pembrokeshire Foodbank located in Pembroke
Dock, Haverfordwest and Letterston.
A cheque
of £200 was donated to Theri Bailey, Manager of the centre which is based in the
former Magistrates Courthouse at market Square, Narberth. In the picture showing
the cheque presentation are, from left to right: President Elect Nominee Elaine
Bradbury, Rotary Life Member Charles Rodea, Rotary International Chairman Nigel
Towns, Their Bailey, Rotary Secretary John Sleigh and Hayley
Archer.
The Rotary
Club also donated one dozen Christmas Puddings which had been purchased from The
Rotary Club of Cwmbran Vale to support their nominated Charity MENINGITIS NOW.
Sitting next to the puddings and the packed food parcels is foodbank volunteer
Hayley Archer and in the background Nicola, Irma, Carol, Richard, Theri Bailey
and Roy.
The
Rotarians were very impressed with the work of the Pembrokeshire Foodbank which
was seeded and supported by the Trussell Trust which is a network of 400
foodbanks which provide a minimum of three days emergency food and support to
people experiencing crisis in the UK. The logistics of sorting and weighing the
food donations in the basement of the Foodbank headquarters is quite a
challenge. Assisting in this task the volunteers sorting the boxes are:
Theri ,Richard, Nicola, Roy and Sarah.
