Donations are needed urgently for the food bank based at Aquaramics, 23 Firs Parade, Matlock.
Tansley resident Paul Burton, who is involved in running the food bank, says it’s been a great effort so far – “only 11 food bags away from a milestone of 100 bags gone out to the vulnerable” – and that all donations to date have been very gratefully received. However, there is no food left at the moment, so new donations would be very welcome.
Weekdays the food bank is open 10am – 4pm. Weekend opening hours vary – please phone Paul on 07875 535896 for information.
Anyone who would like to donate items but cannot deliver them to the food bank can take them to Paul’s home address at 34 Riber View Close, Tansley.
Paul says that if you would like to donate but cannot deliver to either of the addresses above, then there are a few voluntary drivers who could collect if absolutely necessary. Contact Paul on the above number to arrange collection.
Paul is also looking for volunteer drivers with their own cars & fuel to take deliveries to those in need locally.
