Ealing foodbank fundraiser

To clarify I am in no way connected with this fundraising event, I came across it when making a donation to the Ealing Food Bank and can't see anything already on the page about it. This is organised by Fielding Primary School PTFA to raise money for Ealing Food bank. The link will take you to details but in essence you choose your square and on 29 December a reindeer will wander the field and if something 'happens' in your square you could win a prize.https://www.tickettailor.com/events/fieldingptfa/467546?fbclid=IwAR0RLxAQ7Nua57U7JASUF9NPaVZhn0PJqg_gqEdsJPBrBE5-v7dI4OuSV04#alternatively of course you could just donate directly to the foodbank: https://ealing.foodbank.org.uk/

I think this raised the best part of £1,000 - which is fab.In this new lockdown, many more will be struggling. If you can add a couple of things to a home delivery, they can then be dropped off at the children centre in Acton Park (very safely) Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 11-2.Other options of course: financial donations or adding to your own shop and leaving in the supermarket box (if you still go to one) This is the Ealing Food Bank January list:READY MADE CUSTARD - TINS OR CARTONSTOMATO KETCHUPINSTANT DRINKING CHOCOLATECOOKING OIL - 1 LITRE MAXIMUM PLEASEVEGETARIAN CHILL & CURRYSIZE 5 & 6 NAPPIESTOOTHPASTE & TOOTHBRUSHESSHAVING GEAR - FOAM & RAZORSSHOWER GEL & HAIR SHAMPOOSOAP & HAND WASH / SANITISERWASHING UP LIQUIDSANITARY TOWELS - NOT TAMPONS OR PANTY LINERS

Worth noting that if you donate actual food at Tesco, they often add to it. Up to 20%, I think. So that's actually a better way to donate than giving money.I admire the ingenuity of the pooping reindeer though.
