Whitchurch Rotary helps foodbank feed vulnerable children during school holidays
Members of a Shropshire Rotary club have made a donation of £1,000 to help feed vulnerable children during the summer holidays.
Whitchurch Rotary has covered the cost of feeding 64 children in 22 local families for three weeks of the summer school holiday.
The club was responding to Whitchurch Foodbank’s work for families identified by local schools as needing extra holiday help because they don’t qualify for other Shropshire Council assistance.
The donation of £1,000 is “amazing” said the Foodbank chair Alan Scutt.
“We can’t thank Rotary enough for its continued support and encouragement for our ongoing work to help meet the needs of food poverty," Alan added.
"It’s particularly important at this time of year when we face the additional cost of providing summer support through the school holiday.”
