Hope House in Clayton-Le-Moors is supporting Clayton Baptist church in regard to the Foodbank this winter by opening a donation drop off point within the home.
Staff, residents, family members and the public are being encouraged to bring their contributions in to the home to be redistributed to less fortunate families during the colder months, in particular clothing for homeless (gloves, scarves, coats etc) as well as food and nappies and toiletries.
As part of the initiative, staff and residents at Hope House chose to contribute to Clayton Baptist church Foodbank, supporting those in need at what can often be a more difficult time of year.
Cathy Yates, home manager at Hope House, said: “At Hope House, were proud to be part of our local community. It’s important to all of us at the home that we support good causes in Lancashire.
“The volunteers at Clayton Baptist church Foodbank (Anne) do an amazing job and we’re pleased to be able to get behind their amazing work.”
Evelyn, 98, resident of Hope House, added: ““I can’t believe that in this day and age, people are still going hungry.
“We’re pleased to be able to make a contribution, however small, to make sure that nobody in our area is left without food on the table.”
Clayton Baptist Church Opening Times for Foodbank: Every Thursday 17:30-18:30
