FOLLOWING the devastating New Year floods, Warrington South MP Sarah Hall is calling on the local community to come together and support residents in urgent need of essential supplies.
The appeal focuses on food, cleaning products, and toiletries to assist families and individuals as they begin the difficult process of recovering from the floods.
Items urgently needed include:
• New Cleaning Products: Bleach, disinfectant, etc.
• New Cleaning Supplies: Cloths, sponges, mops, buckets, gloves, etc.
• New Store Cupboard Foods: Tinned meat, fish, vegetables, pulses, long-life juices, jam, tea, coffee, long-life milk, cereal, rice, pasta, etc.
• New Toiletries: Deodorant, shampoo, shower gel, etc.
The Warrington Islamic Centre, located at Lockton Ln, Bewsey, Warrington, WA5 0BF, has generously offered to act as a collection point for donations. Items can be dropped off on Sunday, 5th January, between 10am and 6pm.
At present, the appeal is focusing exclusively on the listed items to ensure the most immediate needs are met. Larger items are being coordinated separately on a case-by-case basis to address specific individual needs.
For those who prefer to contribute financially, the community fundraiser remains open. Donations are being used to purchase essential supplies, ensuring that every contribution directly supports those affected by the flooding. You can donate here – http://www.gofundme.com/f/NewYearFloods
