Last Saturday (16th December), Ventnor Community Foodbank (VCF) volunteers arranged a donation drive in Co-op as part of the Christmas in Ventnor events.
Thanks to the generosity of the Ventnor community – fourteen trolleys were filled with donations. A huge thanks you to the Co-op Manager, Member Pioneer and Staff.
