Today (Friday 13th) is the last day for donations to the Isle of Wight Foodbank’s Reverse Advent Calendar.
Each day since 18th November, specific items have been highlighted by Foodbank on their Facebook Page. These ranged from tinned veg and fruit to toiletries such as shaving products and shower gels. Rice, tea and coffee, toilets rolls and sanitary items also made the list, as did pet food and chocolate treats.
All the items that have been generously donated as part of the Reverse Advent Calendar will be available to those who need it most this Christmas.
