One of the many things New Forest Basics Food Bank do at Christmas is to send out advent calendars to every child in a family that receives a food parcel, and that will include some families here in Milford on Sea.
It would feel nice to put a smile on a less fortunate child's face with some extra chocolate for them to enjoy over Christmas.
If you can donate any chocolate advent calendar, or any other chocolate bars, your contribution would be very gratefully received.
As always, Mark at The Village News is more than happy to help by collecting any donations.
If you would like to drop off an advent calendar, or chocolate bars, the deadline is before Sunday 8th December 2024.
74 High Street, Milford on Sea, SO41 0QD
PS: Mark has a large range of chocolate for kids, so why not pop in to buy a few bars to donate when next in the village.
PPS: For the advent calendars, we realise that December will have started, but we only found out about the appeal yesterday. I am sure the kids won't mind catching up by eating the past days chocolates in the advent calendar. Better late than never!
