Hastings Foodbank - Urgently Required Foodstuffs!


The Hastings Foodbank, which receives support from the The Trussell Trust (website), has issued an urgent request for tinned meat and fish, long-life milk, tinned vegetables and pasta sauce, which they have run out of. 

The Foodbank provides emergency food and support to people in crisis, and is part of a nationwide network of foodbanks that work to combat hunger and poverty. An increasing number of people have to resort to emergency assistance from foodbanks, even people in work, and consequently emergency food stocks deplete very quickly! Indeed, over 90% of the food they distribute is donated by members of the public. Usual requirements in Hastings include tinned meat and fish, tinned tomatoes, spaghetti and vegetables, tinned custard and rice pudding, pasta sauce, and teabags 40s and 80s packs; go to the Hastings Foodbank website for more details of requirements and donor sites, which are at: 

Community Contact Centre, Hastings Town Hall, Queens Road TN34 1TL; 
Tourist Information Centre, Breeds Place TN34 3AA;
Tesco Extra, Church Wood Drive, St. Leonards TN38 9RB, front of store near exits;
Sainsbury’s, Station Approach, Hastings TN34 1BA, next to restaurant;
Asda, opposite self service points;
Tesco Express, Havelock Road, opposite self service points;
Sainsbury’s Local, Devonshire Road, in main entrance;
The Hastings Centre, The Ridge, in main entrance.

Any of us could need help at some time, many thanks for donations!
