Let me introduce you to a new initiative called Woodley Lunch Bunch. We have set up in response to the financial impact on many families during the pandemic.
We operate a packed lunch delivery service to children during the school holidays.
We deliver twice a week to families in Woodley who are having a difficult time financially, or in other ways. We also deliver an activity pack once a week, as well as a bag of food if we can.
We are a team drawn from the local community with advice from the Grub Club in Wokingham and help from councillor Shirley Boyt, Sewa Day and the food banks of Woodley and Wokingham.
We have been fortunate to receive some funding from Wokingham United Charities and Tesco Bags of Help as well as support and donations from other organisations listed in out thank you section.
At Woodley Lunch Bunch we rely on the wonderful generosity of our local community who support us with food and activity donations, use of premises, and monetary gifts, as well as the generous nature of our sponsors who support us with wise advice and access to grants.
Our requirements change over time and can depend on the donations of our corporate supporting partners who are wonderfully generous and often provide us with bulk goods which is then reflected in the other items we request from our friends in the local community.
We require a diverse range of goods to be able to provide families with good quality, balanced meals along with some more fun and enjoyable items.
We have an ever increasing number of drop off points to make it as easy as possible to make food donations. Thanks You!
We, of course, incur costs in our service and as such we are always grateful for any monetary donations of any size and frequency. You can use our secure portal to provide this support and Thank You!
We ask for food donations during and just before our delivery periods.
We will also ask for specific donations at times between our lunch delivery periods, such as easter eggs and advent calendars.
We always need non perishable goods for our families. At the moment we also need:
