Success at the East Grinstead Christmas Family Festival

6th December 2016

The East Grinstead foodbank team would like to extend thanks to all the visitors to our Foodbank stall at the Christmas Family Festival on Queens’ Walk December 4th.

After a chilly set-up on Sunday morning, we had a great time at the event. At our stall, we hosted a competition – a surprisingly tricky ‘Guess the contents of the unlabelled tins,’ and we were happy that Emma and her family managed to name all three tins correctly to win a Christmas hamper! Thanks to our competition and donations from visitors to the stall, we were delighted to be able to raise £138.

We are always grateful for opportunities to get to know the East Grinstead community, and spread the word about our food bank to both potential supporters and people in crisis. If you want to help us this Christmas, you can find out more about our seasonal appeals for both food and volunteers here.
