MP and daughter lend a hand at foodbank
Food bank volunteers have been praised by Clwyd South MP Simon Baynes.
Last weekend the MP visited the Pant Ward Community Foodbank, which serves the Rhosllanerchrugog area.
He and his daughter, Francesca, joined volunteers putting food together in bags for those in need locally. He said he also gained a greater insight into the dedication of the volunteers who ensure that the most vulnerable in the local area do not go hungry.
County councillor David Maddocks, who helps run the foodbank, said: “Simon heard about our foodbanks we run and offered to help. He kindly turned up with his daughter, Francesca, and stayed for two and a half hours helping. He helped set the tables up, checked the dates on the tins and helped bag items for people, and after the event he helped to clean up.
“I would like to add that if there is anyone in the Rhosllanerchrugog area that requires help, then please join our Facebook Pant Ward Community Page for future updates.”
Mr Baynes said: “I was very pleased to lend a hand at the Pant Ward Community Foodbank with my daughter, Francesca. The work of the volunteers there is exceptional and I was really impressed with the dedication and commitment they have shown and continue to show in helping those in our communities who are in need. In what has been a difficult year, I am really delighted to see the community coming together in a safe way to ensure that people don’t go without."
