Food Parcel

Much to my surprise this morning I found a note in my letterbox telling me a food parcel had been delivered and left outside my front door.  I didn't request it so I assume it was left because I am on the Govt's shielded list.  It was a very nice gesture but I really don't need it and would be sorry to see it go to waste, although it did contain a loaf of bread which I will use.  So can anybody make use of it, or know of somebody who could? I will list the contents below:Fresh Items3kg bag washed potatoes Bag large carrotsBiggest onion I have ever seen!Bag OrangesBag Small Red Delicious ApplesCupboard Items2x Tin Heinz Tomato Soup2x Tin Heinz Baked BeansTin Fray Bentos Swedish Meatballs In Tomato SauceSmall Tin Tuna Chunks500g Penne PastaLarge Jar Pasta Sauce500g Wholegrain OatsPacket Digestive BiscuitsSmall Packet Instant CoffeeSmall Packet 40 Typhoo Tea Bags4x Small Body Wash PhialsTeeny Tiny SoapPlease drop me a PM and I will arrange to leave the box outside for collection.  East Putney near Wandsworth Park.

It a nice and generous gesture of you to offer it, Sue. I hope someone claims it and it finds a deserving home.

I already have enough of the cupboard items and there's too much of the fresh food for me and I just don't want it to go to waste. Although they do not appear to be from a supermarket I am impressed by the freshness and quality of the fruit and veggies.

I'm sure one of the local food banks would be grateful for much of what you don't need: try https://wandsworth.foodbank.org.uk/give-help/donate-food/

I did think about food banks but the problem is I couldn't get it to any of them.

Sue have you tried the Church in Werter Rd, Last Monday a large queue awaiting food to be handed them.

Barbara Stevens ● 2377d

Hi Barbara.  I would love a food bank to have it but I don't drive now so cannot take it anywhere.

Sue Hammond ● 2377d

There seems to always be somebody at the church, perhaps somebody could collect it from you. There might be a phone number.

Barbara Stevens ● 2377d

I'll investigate that option Barbara. xx

Called them but voicemail on which gave their email address, so sent them a message.
