Fair Frome officially opened a new gym last month, marking the start of a new permanent donation point for the food bank.
Senior coordinator for Fair Frome, Lenka Grimes, cut the ribbon to officially open PureGym at Wessex Fields, on Friday 28th March. The site has now become a permanent donation point for the food bank.
“We are really pleased to have another donation point in the town in order to increase food bank stocks,” explained Lenka. “We spent £8,000 last year on food bank items and we just can’t afford to do that anymore.”
Fair Frome donation points are situated in Sainsbury’s, Asda, Lidl, Tesco Express, Co-op Fromefield, Co-op Badcox, Howden Insurance on Catherine Street, Coventry Building Society, Frome Wholefoods and the Cheese and Grain.
Frome Puregym manager, Joe, said, “We really want to support the local community and we feel Fair Frome do a great job, so we are keen to support in any way and will be putting on some fun fundraising events.”
Fair Frome Food Bank’s urgent needs are: tinned vegetables, tinned fruit, rice, sauces for rice, chopped tomatoes, sauces for pasta, pasta, snacks, squash, coffee and tinned fish.
