Littlehampton Rotary donates 50 festive parcels to foodbank

Each parcel donated to the Littlehampton and District Foodbank contained ten seasonal food items wrapped in Christmas paper with a sticker stating it was a Christmas gift from Rotary.

This year’s club president Bruce Green handed over the 50 parcels to Samantha Gouldson, deputy coordinator of the foodbank.

Samantha said: “We are so grateful to Littlehampton Rotary Club for doing this again and it will give a boost to the foodbank recipients, most of whom are in desperate need of this extra help.”

Eight Rotary club members spent two hours walking around a hall in Rustington picking up one of each of the ten food items to place them in a box and then wrapping the boxes in festive paper.

This seasonal gesture was organised by Geoff Watts, the chairman of the club’s community service committee.

Geoff said: “Our Rotary club was pleased to do this for the sixth year running, to help those less fortunate than ourselves and the same applies to the more than £1,000 worth of food we have bought this past year and taken into Littlehampton Foodbank, which is inside Littlehampton Baptist Church in Fitzalan Road.”
