However, what’s truly remarkable is the response from our community, whose solidarity has become the bedrock of the Foodbank’s operations. During a weekend marked by the festive spirit in December, volunteers joined forces with Tesco in Dibden, for a monumental food drive. e result? A staggering 2252kg of food was collected - a record-breaking achievement that speaks volumes about the boundless generosity of our neighbours. March brought another opportunity for our community to rally behind the Foodbank, this time at Waitrose in Hythe. roughout the day, individuals poured in, not just with donations but with genuine interest and concern for their neighbours. We collected 96kg of food and raised a wonderful £63.50. But it’s not just individuals stepping up; local businesses and organisations have also played a crucial role in supporting the Foodbank’s mission. Knights Brown, for instance, has been instrumental in constructing a safer environment for volunteers by building a raised oor—a testament to their commitment to community welfare. Moreover, the ongoing support from the Waterside Community Fund, as well as numerous churches, schools, and businesses, underscores the collective e ort required to address the challenges we face. As Easter approached, the call for assistance resonated deeply within our community. From Vibrant Brewery to St. John’s Marchwood, and from local nurseries to schools like Manor School, the response was overwhelming. Together, we ensured that Easter would be a time of joy and abundance for all, with over 200 eggs collected for those in need. Looking ahead, the road may still be challenging, but with the indomitable spirit of Waterside residents, the Foodbank remains steadfast in its commitment to serving our community. As demands increase, the need for support becomes ever more crucial. Whether it’s contributing to food drives, volunteering time, or simply spreading awareness, every e ort counts. In the spirit of community cohesion, the Foodbank extends an invitation to all for a co ee morning starting on 26th April, 10am Jubilee Hall, Fawley. It’s not just about the co ee; it’s an opportunity to come together, share stories, and reinforce the bonds that make Waterside an exceptional place.
