Christmas food drop will help 150 needy families in Burnham and Highbridge area
Hundreds of pounds worth of food is set to be distributed to 150 needy families across the Burnham-On-Sea and Highbridge area this week thanks to local donations.
Highbridge’s Morland Community Hub is overseeing a Christmas food drop after receiving donations of food from local supermarkets, residents and businesses.
Roger Keen, one of the trustees at the hub, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “We are very grateful for the many generous donations which include the Argos Distribution Centre in Bridgwater who have given us a big supply of food to distribute to those most in need.”
A food and gifts parcel drop is set to be carried out by the team at Highbridge’s Morland Community Hub.
The hub’s traditional Christmas Eve parcel drop will be taking place and items are coming in ready for the team to deliver to those most in need.
The hub’s decorations are up, the tree has been dressed and preparations for a Community Cafe Christmas lunch are also underway.
Jane Macpherson, Project Development Manager at Morland Community Hub, says: “Some of our much requested groups have safely returned with their regular bookings.”
“Following our traditional Christmas Eve food/gifts parcel drop, as per last year, items are coming in ready for the team to deliver to those most in need. Last week, we wrapped the huge amount of boxes needed on the day.”
