A great cause👏
Foodstock have been helping families across the city through difficult times, and amid the cost of living crisis have been visiting over 400 homes on a weekly basis to provide food, assistance with energy bills, and essential items.
Local boxer, Michael Conlon, donated £5,000 to the appeal, which Foodstock founder Paul Doherty said was a "fantastic gesture" which has "changed the whole dynamic of our appeal." "Too many families now that are contemplating not having a Christmas. As a community, we aren't prepared to let that happen.
"On Christmas Eve each year, we reach out to the community and find people who are alone over Christmas and provide them with a cooked Christmas dinner. This year, our team will provide 300 dinners this Christmas thanks to the help of Slim's Kitchen in Belfast. He said: "In our communities, many people, families, local businesses, schools, sporting clubs, youth centres and more are fundraising, collecting food and toys with work colleagues, family and friends and looking out for others.
