The boxes, funded through donations and fundraising, contained a range of food items, toiletries, blankets, and hot water bottles. They aim to provide practical support and warmth as the colder months approach.
Jake Jones, Community Centre Manager at Recreation Community Hub, which hosts the Local Pantry, stated, “The Pantry volunteers wanted to provide something that offers comfort as well as practical support. Thanks to the generosity of those who donate to and support the Pantry, we were able to put together these harvest boxes and deliver them to residents at Gibb House. Community support is at the heart of everything we do, and we hope these boxes will bring a little extra comfort as we move into the winter months.”
Local Pantry South Bridgwater (Hamp) is a volunteer-led initiative based at Recreation Community Hub. It helps local residents access affordable food while fostering community connections.
This donation highlights the important role of the pantry and its volunteers in supporting residents, offering practical assistance and making individuals feel valued and connected.
