Season’s Greetings from the Rotary Club of Ballymena
Each year local schools collect groceries and members of the Rotary Club of Ballymena make up hampers that are distributed to elderly and less fortunate people in the Ballymena area. The Rotary Club need your help again this year.
The Rotary Club are looking for pupils to bring along some groceries to school.
Please check that the ‘best by’ or ‘use by’ date is after Christmas and, remember, we would appreciate everything from teabags and sugar to some ‘luxury items’ - the more variety the better! We have included below a list of suggested items which would be greatly appreciated by those receiving the hampers. As many elderly live alone, smaller tins/packets of food are very useful.
Pasta, Tea Bags, Baby wipes/nappies
Pot Noodles, Coffee Tissues and Towels
Rice, Tinned Fruit, Toothbrushes
Pasta, Sauce, Sugar, Toothpaste
Tinned Vegetables, Custard, Shower gel
Baked Beans Jelly/Jam, Face cloths
Tinned Soup, Children’s selection boxes, Shampoo
Biscuits, Few ‘luxuries’, eg, mince pies, Combs/brushes
Fruit Juice/Drinks, Chocolates/Sweets, Soap
Porridge/Cereals, Tinned Meats, Deodorant
Perhaps you could make a Christmas card to put in a hamper? Sign it with your first name and school – it may be the only card some people receive.
On behalf of the Rotary Club of Ballymena, and those who receive the parcels, please accept our sincere thanks and best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.
*Last date for donating items is Tuesday 2nd December.
