St Saviour’s Schools in Bath is working with FareShare South West to distribute FREE community food parcels across the community.

Through delivery and direct collections from the warehouse, they aim to offer all of their ‘Free School Meals (FSM)’ families a weekly food parcel AND offer further parcels to other families and individuals who need extra food during the COVID19 crisis.

To help local people benefit from the set-up, the school is asking for referrals both from people who could benefit themselves or to help someone else who might need a bit of extra help.

They are also looking for helpers who could walk or drive deliveries to local people.

To be part of this wonderful scheme, email email hidden; JavaScript is required with the subject ‘Food Parcel’, or send a message through Facebook.
