The annual Christmas food collection has started at Melksham Food Bank, with the team calling on the community to donate a range of festive items.
Each year, the food bank provides Christmas bags containing special treats for residents who use the service to enjoy over the festive period.
As well as general donations, volunteers are appealing for Christmas cake, chocolates and tubes of Pringles.
The team said, “If you are able to donate some extra items to make a difference to someone’s Christmas this year, we would really appreciate it. It could make a huge difference to a family this year.”
Donation points can be found at Asda, Co-op on Blackmore Road, Coventry Building Society on the High Street, Lidl, Poundstretcher on the High Street, Spa Road petrol station, The Factory Shop in the Market Place, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose.
