Food Banks

Melanie emailed to say "I wonder if you could give a shout out for food banks on the blog. With the panic buying I'm not sure they'll be remembered so much and recipients' needs are likely to increase. They might be less visible if everyone turns to online orders."
There is a food bank serving Pocklington, Holme On Spalding Moor and Market Weighton called The People's Pantry.
Thanks.

For anyone who might have to self isolate or the elderly living in the village who need food shopping, postage or prescription collections, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Sara on 318286. Fiona R has messaged to offer her help with shopping. Fiona's number is 318521.

Also if there are any others in the village who are able to volunteer their help if you let myself or Fiona know then we can co-ordinate the help. Thanks.

I am passing back through Market Weighton midweek so if anyone is wanting any shopping from Tesco I will be doing a shop. I can also nip to the post office there if you need mail posting and the doctors pharmacy if anyone is with Market Weighton doctors and needs a prescription.
