One Stop & Rotary foodbank donation

BIRSTALL’S FOOD Bank has been boosted by a donation from Wreake Valley Rotary Club.

“While shopping at Birstall Hallam Fields One Stop Shop, one of our members noticed a large tub and a table set up, inviting customers to give items to the Soar Valley Food Bank project,” said Rotary spokesman Peter Fox.

“On speaking to staff, we learned that they collected each week, so as a club, we decided to make some purchases from them and support this local project. When we told the staff what we intended to do, we received a further lift when the shop also put in a contribution of £50 worth of goods into the collection tub to boost our efforts.”

The club had fundraised over Christmas by taking their Santa sleigh around Birstall, Syston, Thurmaston and Mountsorrel.
