Distributing large quantities of food around the county

Dear Food Poverty network people....... sorry if you get this from multiple sources

Last week I got this email from Sandra Royle who is already doing lots of good work sourcing and distributing wholesale quantities of good food for free around Blackpool and the Fylde coast... She has had temporary use of a vehicle but this is coming to an end.. We've been talking to Sandra as together lancashire and via the Blackpool Food Partnership as how best to support and get involved in the valuable work she is doing.. However, as she is not yet organised as a company or as a charity it's not easy to help her access grant funding... But we think it is valuable work.. and that there must be other ways and deals that could be done to get her van on the road.. maybe delivering food to your food bank for free or at knockdown prices...

If you have any ideas... or a pot of gold under your nearest rainbow please get in touch direct with

Hi Guys,

I need your help!

Please could you make a donation towards the purchase of a van so that I can continue to run the wholesale food bank?

I have been offered a really good van at a reduced price and therefore urgently need to raise £2000 to cover the cost of the van, insurance and breakdown cover.

I have to return my current vehicle by the end of the month!

On a brighter note I have now secured a contract with Kelloggs to collect cereals and snacks in bulk from their Manchester factory - which will enable me to supply all the soup kitchens and food banks on my data base with heaps of goodies!

Thank you for your support.

Donations can be paid direct into my bank account - please contact me for further details.

Thanks

Sandra Royle
