Help P COTTON raise money to support Doorways Derby

🌟 **Celebrating Volunteers' Week** 🌟

Although Volunteers' Week was last week, we wanted to take a moment to recognise the incredible people who make our Tuesday street kitchen possible.

As volunteers with Doorways Derby, we have the privilege of supporting homeless and vulnerable members of our community each week. Whether it's preparing food, serving meals, offering a listening ear, or simply sharing a smile, every volunteer plays an important role.

Volunteering can be challenging at times, but it is also incredibly rewarding. The kindness, compassion, and dedication shown by our team never goes unnoticed. Together, we create a welcoming space where people are treated with dignity, respect, and care.

A huge thank you to all of our volunteers for giving up your time, energy, and hearts to help others. Your commitment makes a real difference in the lives of so many people.

I am always asked what the food bank is in need of and usually we are quite well supported so it is always the basics ie pasta, baked beans and so on.
Unfortunately our donations have dropped significantly this year.
We have now found ourselves in urgent need it the following items.
Tinned fruit
Hot chocolate make with water
Potted paste
Long life milk
Tinned spaghetti
Tinned vegetables
Rice
Dog food
Cat food
Our pet food bank has nothing at all available at present due to very minimal donations.
We have had to purchase pet food to distribute at our Saturday food bank for the last 6 weeks.
If anyone can help with these items we would be very grateful.

We’ve had a great amount of Easter Eggs donated so far! Thank you all who have picked up a food bank bag with one in. I alone had around 4 go through my till on Wednesday!

There are also 2 trays of smaller eggs that aren’t included in this photo.
