Larne Foodbank hampers making Christmas 'a little happier' for over 600 people
Over 600 people will benefit from Christmas hampers delivered through Larne Foodbank this year.
The organisers have thanked the community for their support for their annual initiative.
In their December newsletter, they stated: “A huge thank-you to everyone who donated to Larne Foodbank over the past few months. There are too many to mention individually but we could not be more grateful to all the individuals, schools, churches, businesses and volunteers who helped with our Christmas Hampers. We simply couldn’t do it without you.
"Hampers were delivered to feed 601 people living in and around Larne. We hope they will make Christmas a little happier for those who received them.”
