Care home team donates to Dunstable families in food poverty

Kind-Hearted care workers at a local care home have taken part in a donation drive at the Dunstable Foodbank.

Colleagues at Caddington Grove Care Home on London Road helped organise the collection, hoping to lend a helping hand to those impacted by the cost of living crisis.

Volunteers from Dunstable Foodbank came to the home to collect food and other essentials donated by the team, as well as family and friends of the residents.

Home Ambassador Louise Chilcott said: “The weather is turning colder, the cost of heating has skyrocketed, and too many families cannot afford basic groceries.

“In organising this collection, we hope to help the foodbank and the vital work they do for people in crisis.

“Our community means a great deal to us, so it’s a pleasure and a privilege to do what we can to make a difference.”

New Home Manager Antonios Loumousiotis joined Louise, Receptionist Julia Abel and Homemaker Pauline Akoh to hand over the goods.
