Hello All 💖 It's that time of year again when we put out our reverse calendar of vital items needed here at the foodbank. If you can donate any items we would be so grateful. We are always busy here at the foodbank but as you all can imagine the lead up to Christmas is one of our busiest periods. Thank you for all your support ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ and we would be so grateful if anyone could share this post to get the word out 💖

Hi everyone, West Lancs Ark received a lot of donations of hand knitted baby cardigans. This lady resides in a care home locally. This lovely lady has asked if we can ask for donations of double knit wool.
With the colder weather, this lovely lady has offered to knit mittens and scarves for little ones. Any donations would be appreciated ❤️
