CELEBRATING OUR VOLUNTEERS

It was good to get together this afternoon to say thank you with a celebratory buffet and drink. About half of those who regularly help are pictured because we can never find the best time for all to gather.

Rachael organised the venue and a quiz, so we applauded her for those. Thank you to The Styrrup for the room and refreshments and thank you to Death By Fudge for a free cookie per volunteer. It’s heartwarming when others in the community help.

These are people who care and they all deserve time out to relax. Thank you for coming.

FRIDAY IS APPRECIATION DAY

Our weekly note of gratitude goes out to Christ the King parishioners for the bags of goods for the Food Train, and also to Food Aware CIC for the extra goods that came with our order which helped to fill the bags and have surplus for our Bargain Tables. The payments for goods on the tables heads into the budget for further purchases.

In addition, Asda provided us with a lot of bakery products, but that was as well as a trolley full of goods donated by customers (6 bags). Thank you to those of you who placed goods in that trolley

APPRECIATION FRIDAY

Thank yous to all of our volunteers at the end of Volunteers’ Week. We’ll see as many of them as possible at our annual get together next week. We have no paid staff at Holmescarr so we are really grateful for their time and effort to keep us going.

Thank you to the gentleman who brought us some of his baking. Lovely grub!

Thank you to all our customers whose purchases help to keep the Food Train on the move. It costs a lot to furnish the needy with some food so every penny counts.

BARGAIN HUNTING

Drop into Holmescarr and browse the Bargain Tables. We’ve got fruit, veg, dairy, bakery, and garden items. Almond milk is available if you need that.

We have free hot drinks but there’s cold ones too. Try some carrot cake or lemon drizzle.

Remember all of your purchases help to keep the Food Train running to the needy in Rossington

FRIDAY IS APPRECIATION DAY

Thank you to Food Aware CIC for the many surprises with our staples order this week. Our ‘passengers’ benefitted from the great mix and next week some of them will have pet food for dogs and cats in their households.

Thank you to FareShare Yorkshire for the freebies in last week’s delivery and the variety in this week’s. With 25 bags to fill, we appreciate the multiples we get.
