Our warehouse heroes are gearing up for a well-deserved Christmas break! The outpouring of food donations over the past month has left us utterly amazed. Now, it's time for our warehouse teams to recharge! We'll be open on Thursday & Friday from 10-12 for any last-minute food donations, then taking a short break until Tuesday 2nd January. After that, we're back to our regular schedule, accepting donations Mon-Fri from 10-12. Don't forget, you can also conveniently drop off items in collection baskets at most local supermarkets. We have collection points at Tesco Cam & Stroud, Waitrose Stroud, Sainsbury's Stroud and most local co-ops across the district. A heartfelt thank you to everyone for your incredible support and generosity! #SeasonOfGiving #CommunityLove #ThankYouForCaring
