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, etc to school. This year the Rotary Club of Ballymena celebrates its 80th Anniversary and they aim to make this a very special collection!

 

They are asking everyone to check that the ‘best by’ or ‘use by’ date is after Christmas and they would appreciate everything from teabags and sugar to some ‘luxury items’ - the more variety the better! They 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

Biscuits/ Few ‘luxuries’, eg, mince pies /Combs/brushes

Fruit Juice/Drinks /Chocolates/Sweets/ Soap

*Last date for donating items is Monday 4th December.

 

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.
