All welcome to join us for a free Christmas lunch on Thurs 17th December, 1 – 4pm with a 1.30 start.
It will be a traditional lunch with pudding held inside the Western Hotel.
The meal is open for all, we aim to bring people together to spread some Christmas joy, reduce isolation, promote well-being and to support people in this time of spiralling living costs.
This season of joy can also be a lonely time for many, so do help us to reach out and find those who may benefit by coming along.
If you know someone who lives alone, perhaps offer to bring them along to the lunch as they may be nervous to attend on their own.
Booking is essential – please contact us / email stivesfoodshare@gmail.com with numbers, children ages, dietary requirements etc.
If you’d like to volunteer or donate anything towards the meal, please get in touch.
The meal is completely free but donations are much appreciated.
A huge thank you to:
- Aspects who have donated £250 towards the meal.
- Orange Roofs who have donated £250 towards the meal.
- St Ives Community Fund who are contributing to the ingredients of the meal.
- Western Hotel who are providing the venue free of charge.
- All our foodshare volunteers who will be helping to organise, shop, prep and serve food on the day.
Looking forward to it!!
NB – Apologies to anyone who would like to attend but can’t because it’s being held on a weekday during school/work time.
That was the only day we could do it. We discussed the option of having it in the evening, but realised that most of the people that we are keen to support aren’t keen to go out in the evening in the dark.
We are discussing doing something fun between 4 & 5pm for people with children so they can join us after school. Watch this space.
