New stretch target
Bigger target would mean we could purchase further items for the parcels such as Laundry Detergent, Nappies, Suncream, and Breakfast Bundles to ensure children coming into school are able to start the day with a good breakfast.
I want to FILL every cupboard in the Wellbeing Hub kitchen at my son's primary school, ready for the summer holiday food packages.

For nearly 18 months myself, members of Margate WI and a few other parents donate what we can each month to help purchase food and toiletry items for the volunteer run Food Bank. This is accessed by parents/carers of the school who find themselves in need or crisis.
The video is my son and I helping out the staff to receive a food delivery. This is was a good month, around £185 which makes approximately 5 food parcels - less then £40 per family. https://youtube.com/shorts/5G09aIbkInQ?feature=share
NO child should be hungry and every person within our community should be able to ask for help and have that need met.
The amazing Libby from Thanet Hygiene Bank also donates items regularly to the Hub's food bank. They are also a charitable initiative and have many commitments around Thanet they support.
My goal is simple, to raise enough money through donations to be able to fill every inch of cupboard space at the Hub's Food Bank to ensure that for the long summer holiday they are able to make some bumper food parcels.
I am asking for £2 do around but anything above or below this will make a difference - this I can't stress enough - even 50p will add up for each one we get :)
Please consider donating or sharing this crowd funder, pass onto any Margatonian business owners or anyone who wishes to support us.
Thank you for your time of you've got this far down!
