PRIORITY’s Christmas fund raising
Fund raising throughout 2019
20 December 2019
PRIORITY would like to thank its staff for their kindness and generosity; many donations have been received throughout December and these have enabled us to provide gifts for families supported by FIND
https://www.findipswich.org.uk/
‘For 30 years, Families in Need (FIND) Ipswich has offered a lifeline to people in Ipswich and the surrounding areas who are experiencing poverty and despair.
We provide free food parcels and personal care items to help people get through a crisis, as well as furniture, bedding and other household items where the person or family has none.
An army of over 80 volunteers regularly give their time freely to check and sort the donated food, collect items from local stores, make up the food parcels and deliver them. It’s a six-day a week operation.
The demand for food parcels has risen year on year and FIND now distributes an average of 100 parcels every week and even more at Christmas - more than 6,000 every year.’
Our pyjamas and movie night was also a great success, raising a fantastic £167.05, a big thank you must go to Grace for helping with the snack shop and Dijana for organising dinner.
It was great doing something a little different to help raise money for such a great charity.
