Wooler Food Bank - Please Use This Service
An update on the foodbank now operating from The Cheviot Centre.
Good quantity of food available for those in need and regular donations coming in. We have a cabinet outside the front door where people can leave food 24/7.
We now have a fridge freezer so can cope with standard perishable items.
A number of parcels have gone out but enquiries have been few this week; given the situation we think this might change and demand increase as wage issues start to bite.
Please feel free to ring on 01668 282406.
