Thank you to our local community for reaching out after our plea to support West Somerset Food Cupboard to share the love with easter eggs for those in need.

Special thank you to Somerset Bridal - Bridal Boutique - Minehead, Somerset who donated so many, and for many of the shops in our town for displaying our poster.

Sara from the food bank charity came in to collect, and we still have more to give as received another 4 easter eggs.

West Somerset Food Cupboard told us they havent had many EASTER EGGS donated and asked us to help with donations. 🍫🐰
🙏PLEASE help us to share the love with our local community with families to add those extra treats - we are taking 💛EASTER EGGS OR CHOCOLATE BAGS 💛 in our funeral home, and also in the florist next door to us Flowers At Number 3, then we'll deliver them to our wonderful local food bank cupboard.

What we have learned supporting this charity:
❤️They provide emergency food for homeless people, focusing on items that do not need a cooker (there are several places in towns who will give out hot water to add to the one pot food snacks)
💛Many families are having to access the food bank - cost of living is a burden, cant afford bills, one parent is out of work or off sick so income less; and less money for essential food items
💚You cant give them opened food items, and they must be at least 3 months in date. They cant take fresh items.
💜The food cupboard give emergency food parcels to key people ie social workers, support workers, job centre so no need to go to the food cupboard
🩷This charity has volunteers who dedicate their time to help
🖤You can access the emergency food items for a certain time, and then they offer a further support service - helping people what to buy, how to cook from scratch to empower independence in the future
💙They are mindful that many of those they support with essential foods, have children of all ages so its a really kind gesture to add into their parcels treats ie easter egg so every child can enjoy a treat

Thank you to all our community for your support, we live and work here, so we are passionate to do the right thing with our neighbours who need help xx

How lovely to receive a thank you card in the post this morning from a family member who watched the funeral via webcast, and took the trouble to say the service was so lovely, and thanking us for all that we do. 🩷
(the service was officiated by our Amanda-Louise in her celebrant capacity and funeral director as the family wanted her for both roles)
