Free breakfast and lunch packs for the school summer holidays
Times are tough for so many of us. If any parents or carers are worrying about affording the extra cost of weekly food bill during the school summer holiday and would welcome a little extra support, Arden Foodbank can help.
For each of the six weeks in the school summer holidays, Arden Foodbank will be offering a free food pack for every child in families struggling to make ends meet. The food pack will contain breakfast and lunch for each of the five days your child would have been at school. Sadly, we cannot provide fresh food, but the packs will contain a variety of nutritionally balanced delicious non perishable food. Check out our Facebook page later this month for more details, and photos, of the food packs.
To claim your food pack(s), all you need to do is to bring this letter, in paper or electronic format, to one of our Foodbanks in either Alcester or Studley. A warm welcome, a friendly smile and even a cuppa (if you would like one) will be waiting for you. In Alcester you will find us between 2.00-3.30pm at the Eric Payne Community Centre, Jubilee Fields, off St Faith’s Road on Friday 19 July.
In Studley, we will be at the Methodist Church, Alcester Road (opposite the war memorial) on Tuesday 23 July from 2.00-3.30pm. We will be open in both locations on the same day and at the same time for the following five weeks. If you ask someone else to collect the food pack for you, please remember to give them this letter to bring. We won’t ask you for lots of information, just how many school age children you have and which schools they go to. Let us know, on your first visit, if your child has any allergies and we will do our very best to cater for that.
If you have any questions about this, or anything else we can help with, please just phone or email us on the contact details above.
We look forward to welcoming you and wish you a happy holiday.
