The Well Foodbank update 

Following my previous request for food items/toiletries/household cleaners etc because of the urgent need for them for individuals and families throughout Wolverhampton and then to be greeted with a full trolley was fantastic - every item went immediately out so a sincere thank you everyone. Sadly the need for food donations is desperate in our town, we are not the only foodbank crying out for help so whatever contribution you can make will be greatly appreciated. Our local supermarkets do support us and for that we are grateful - if you would like to see how we operate or you might like someone to speak to your group then please contact me.
