WELCOME to the Purley Food Hub websiteLatest News
December’s list of most-needed items is a mix of staples and Christmas goodies, but it is headed again by long life whole milk.
During October we distributed close to 400 one-litre cartons of milk to clients with their food parcels, followed by a further 300-plus cartons in the first three weeks of November.
As a result our stocks are now very low and we need an urgent top-up of milk supplies as we head towards Christmas.
Tinned chicken, ham and corned beef, together with tins of peas and carrots and tinned dessert fruit, and small bottles of squash (and washing up liquid) are the staple items we especially need at this time. The Christmas goodies listed are biscuits and mince pies.
For children we are also requesting chocolate treats and desserts … as an alternative to Christmas pudding!
