Sorry to put this on everyone but with everyone struggling and people might not be getting full pay
How about we do another collection for the food bank its a good thing for us to show the Newport County community wants to help
If you can donate mark it foodbank and pay via PayPal to jim.drewett@ntlworld.com please pay family and friends or they take a cut
Cheers Jim
Re: Foodbank
2Dear UTP
You are clearly a caring individual.
Want to share this tale
I've had the privilege of volunteering and helping for well over a year at Guildford's Day Centre for rough sleepers,homeless,folks with drug problems and the vulnerable.
Have met some wonderful folks. for much of this time I've been taking surplus food that my local co op have over at the end of the day..Lugged often large amounts on bus to deliver. Always of use.
Last week took six dozen eggs one day out of date and pointed it out to two members of staff..
Kitchen looked very tidy on Friday .... I took a look in the wheelie bin and a load of my stuff plus the eggs had been chucked.
I was not happy ...To compound it all one of the paid members of staff helped themselves to a wrapped co op sarnie and ate it
Bizarre ain't it?
Good wishes
Norm
