Can you help us fill our trolley?

Prestwich Tesco Community Champion has been able to secure us a donation trolley in the supermarket since the very first day our pantry opened. It is a convenient spot for folks to drop off donations and for us to promote our work a little.

This weekend it seems, our trolley is a little bit empty. So we thought we'd give it a bit of a push.

Any items that you can spare will go a long way to helping folks in our community access a cheap weekly shop and increase their standard of living. We're always interested in the following items:

Tinned Vegetables
Tinned Fruit
Tinned Sausage and Beans
Tinned Hot Dogs
Custard
Rice Potatoes
Sugar
Cereal
Blue UHT Milk
Jams
Pasta Sauces
Deodorants
Feminine Hygiene Products

If you have any questions, please let us know! We're always happy to help, and grateful for any support you can give us. Thank you!

We just wanted to put a big spotlight on the wonderful Karen Bones - Prestwich Tesco Community Champion - for all the wonderful things she has done for Heaton Park Food Pantry.

Karen has supported us from day one, and over 3 years later, still makes sure that our shelves are well stocked. She has fought hard for a trolley to be place in the lobby of Prestwich Tesco as a donation point - a steady flow of stock that has kept our doors open to the community. We always look forward to her visits to the pantry and she always stops for a cuppa tea with volunteers and shoppers. She isn't just a champion, she's a massive supporter and our friend.

Thank you so much for everything you do for Heaton Park Food Pantry, Karen! You're one in a million.

We took an evening out to celebrate our volunteers!

We brought volunteers from Heaton Park Holiday Lunch Club and Heaton Park Food Pantry together for a Thank You Meal. There were over 30 of us present and we really missed those who couldn't make it!

We also invited some lovely folks who have donated goods to us over the years - our pantry wouldn't be stocked without them!

We ate together, chatted together, completed a quiz together (thanks to John Pearcey!) and had a fabulous time. It was a lovely evening - good food, great company, and a lovely atmosphere. There was a real wilingness to do carry on doing lovely things for our community.

Many thanks to the lovely folks who brought the evening together, and thanks also to Bury VCFA for the little grant that helped this to happen.
