Drop-off day for Food Bank's advent appeal

Tue, 20 Dec 2016

A charity aiming to ensure everyone has enough food this Christmas is collecting boxes of food made up as part of an advent appeal.

The Isle of Man Food Bank asked Manx residents to put aside one item of food per day throughout advent before dropping it off at one of a number of collection points on the Island.

A number of Commissioners officers, churches and local businesses are opening their doors to make sure everyone can drop off their boxes.

The appeal came just weeks after it was revealed 114 people had sought help from the Food Bank in recent months.

A full list of collection points for the appeal can be found on the Food Bank's Facebook page.
