It soon escalated as the need around us grew, and we now give out approximately 40/50 hampers in Holmewood on a weekly basis. We run a small Charity Shop in Holmewood to support the project. We are all volunteers so there are no salaried workers. Every donation is gratefully received and goes to homes where there are real needs. We have professionals such as C.A.B., Social Services, Mat workers, Drs. Surgeries. Social Services, and many more referring people to us.
