Gift boxes wanted to give Carers for Christmas
Foodbank plea for Christmas gift boxes
2:00pm Sunday 30th October 2011
AN ANDOVER charity is asking residents to help make Christmas special for local children.
Last year Andover Foodbank donated more than 400 gift boxes to children in the community identified by care workers from agencies and organisations who work in partnership with the charity.
Some of the children are in families or with carers who cannot afford to buy gifts at Christmas. Others are living in chaotic situations where children are simply not thought about.
