After an absence of several months, soup is back on our “most wanted” list of items for June – in this case, tinned and packet vegetable soup.
For the past 18 months we have been giving 60 tins each week to Croydon Nightwatch, who give out food to homeless and vulnerable people every night in Queen’s Gardens, and this has seriously reduced our stock.
Other food items needed are jars of meat & fish paste, small bags of sugar, small packets of tea bags, small/medium tins of potatoes, and tins of dessert rice pudding. The three non-food items especially requested this month are unisex deodorant and shampoo and packs of toilet rolls.
