In particular we would welcome:

• Tins of soup
• Tins of tomatoes
• Tins of baked beans and spaghetti
• Meat meals (e.g. tinned stews, curry, meatballs)
• Tinned cold meats (e.g. corned beef, ham)
• Tins of tuna
• Packets of spaghetti and rice
• Tinned fruits
• Tins of custard and rice pudding
• A few festive treats

Donations need to be with us by Friday 13 December at the latest if they are to be distributed ahead of Christmas.
