THE CO-OPERATIVE store in Bitham Park is supporting Crosspoint’s Westbury Foodbank outlet.
You can now donate non-perishable items at the Co-op store, such as cereals, long life milk, sugar, pasta, tinned meat and vegetables, soup, and tea bags. Crosspoint’s Welcome Centre in the Market Place will continue to act as a collection point for donations as well. Donations go to the Warminster and District Foodbank, where they are packaged into emergency foodboxes for people in the area, including the outlet in Westbury.
Dai Davies, chair of Crosspoint, said, “We wanted to get the local stores involved in this. If there’s a ‘two for one’ offer, but you don’t want two, you can donate the extra one.”
The foodbank provides emergency food and support to local people in crisis.
