Discussing donations:

Unprecedented demand leads to cry for help

Isle of Wight Foodbank are appealing to Islanders for food donations.

They say that their stocks are very low at the moment as the last six weeks have seen the biggest demand yet.

Non-perishable food can be donated at their Cowes warehouse this Wednesday, Friday and Saturday mornings.

They specifically require pasta sauce, long life milk and tinned vegetables.

Other ways to help
There are other ways you can help. Foodbank will be holding a sale of clothes sale on Saturday.

It’s a great chance to pick up pre-loved clothes from £1 each as well as brand new school uniform, dressing up clothes, Summer fashion (we’re sure it will arrive eventually) and men’s clothes.

They also have furniture from £5 an item.

See the IW Foodbank Website for more detail of how you can help.
