This will be the fifth year the Isle of Wight Salvation Army have provided a free Christmas lunch for friends in the community who may be homeless, elderly or anyone on their own on Christmas day.
Many donations have already been made, but some items are still needed
- Stuffing
- Mince pies
- Christmas puds
- Juice
- Gravy
- Cranberry sauce
Money for veg
Around £50 has been left with Barrow Boys in Ryde so far to help towards the lunch, but more is needed.
You can drop off cash donations to until tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon with Barrow Boys.
Non-perishable, items can be left with the Ryde and Shanklin Salvation Army charity shops until the 23rd.
Alternatively you can drop off any donations to the Salvation Army Hall in Pyle Street, Newport on Christmas Eve between 10am – 4pm.
At a time when we are all rushing around getting things ready for our own family Christmas, it’s worth taking a moment to do something for others less fortunate.
