Local food bank delight at donations from Morpeth care homeHarvest celebrations were in full swing at HC-One’s Foxton Court care home on the 27th September as they welcomed the local community into the home.

As a gesture for the harvest festival, the home created a donation box which Relatives, Colleagues and friends could contribute to. Many donated to the collection, which consisted of a variety of non-perishable food items.

Gordon and Adam, two representatives from the local Wansbeck food bank, were then invited to the home to collect the donated items, which they were overjoyed to receive.

Everyone remarked at how much of a wonderful gesture it was to donate to this organisation.

Joanne Bulford, Home Manager, commented: “It was lovely to see our donations gratefully received by the local food bank. Gestures like this one are so important for the local community.”
