Pembrokeshire food bank seeking help from the community
A food bank run in aid of a local charity is being organised by the Saundersfoot Runners next week.
Sunday, February 23 is the date of the run, jog or walk from Wisemans Bridge Inn in support of the James Criddle Foundation.
Entry is free and open to everyone - with the condition that each participant brings along a bag of provisions for the foodbank.
Food Bank Runs have been taking place throughout the UK since 2023, when Saundersfoot Runners started organising their own runs in support of the James Criddle Foundation, which runs a food bank out of Tenby AFC clubhouse in The Clicketts, Tenby.
'The Food Bank Run has been a huge support to the Foundation,' said Rachael Criddle, one of the founders. 'We are grateful to everyone who takes part, to Saundersfoot Runners for organising such an uplifting and positive event and to Wiseman's Bridge Inn who generously allow us to use their premises.'
Food items that are needed include dried food such as pasta and rice; tinned goods such as beans, soup, meat, fish, fruit and vegetables; tinned pies and sausages; jars or packs of cook-in sauces and toiletries such as toothpaste, shampoo and shower gel.
A full list will be on the Saundersfoot Runners Events page
The run starts at 10am and will be no longer than an hour.
The route is traffic free so is safe for all ages – and for dogs (who must be on leads). Hot drinks will be available to purchase at the Inn afterwards.
