*Festive Fundraiser*

Usually during the Festive Season we have a UEWRFC Christmas meal! However, due to the pandemic, we can’t do that this year 😔

However, we thought we could put the money we can save in eating out and donate it to a good cause! We have a PayPal link on our social media where you can donate as much as you can towards us purchasing supplies for Colchester Food Bank.

The supplies will include small bags of rice, long life milk, long life juice, shampoo, bags, squash, tinned fruit, deodorant, tooth brushes, and other essentials! You can look at colchester.foodbank.org.uk for more info!

We will be donating the goods this Saturday 12/12/2020 so please donate ASAP so we can buy the supplies! Spread some festive cheer 🎄🥰✨

Colchester Foodbank | Helping Local People in Crisis The Trussell Trust runs the largest network of food banks in the UK, giving emergency food and support to people in crisis. Fourteen million people live below the poverty line and in the last year 1,9 million three-day emergency food supplies were distributed to people in crisis.
