Wakefield Trinity Community Foundation is appealing for Big Feed project volunteers
Wakefield Trinity Community Foundation are appealing for volunteers to help with their ‘Big Feed’ project.
The foundation delivered meals to those in need over Christmas and will be repeating the effort from February 22.
They hope to deliver to around 1,430 people across two months and elderly or vulnerable residents can call a dedicated hotline – 01924 211 611 (option six) – to order meals. The foundation’s head Craig Shepherd said: “We had the opportunity to work in collaboration with community hubs and food aid providers across the district under the Big Feed umbrella and showcase the efforts of the Wakefield district to support the elderly, vulnerable residents.
“Inevitably, the more people we can reach the greater the impact and it will help us build on the incredible achievements at Christmas. We took plenty of learning from the ‘Big Feed’ in December and this time around it will be more about doorstep deliveries, fine-tuning the hotline service and cascading the marketing of that to the right organisations who support people at risk.”
Anyone interested in volunteering to deliver meals over the next two months should email: [email protected].
