Ventnor Community Foodbank share a huge thank you to Johnny Keywood of Ace Waste for his very generous donation of £500 to the Ventnor Community Foodbank (VCF) in October.
Thanks have also been given for the anonymous donation of a £1,000 – which has been split 50-50 between Baby Box and the VCF.
McCarthy: VCF is here to support our community
Tony McCarthy from the VCF told News OnTheWight,
“The support we’ve had from local businesses and the community has been incredible.
“October 2022 was one of our busiest months so far. We fed 78 people – 50 adults and 28 children.
“Ventnor Community Foodbank is here to support our community.”
