Hessle First Business Association Community Interest Company hasn't added a story.
With COVID-19 on our doorstep we need to make sure everyone is taken care of and so Hessle First in association with All Saints Church is creating this fundraiser to raise cash to enable us to provide support to those in need.
We will have lots of people in the community who fall within the vulnerable groups, due to age groups or pre-existing conditions or those who may not have any family support.
We also have lots of people who simply can't affordto buy essentials, let alone stockpile... or those who are self-quarantined and haven't made it to the shops (or did only to find empty shelves).
What happens when the schools close? A lot of children rely on that one hot meal a day provided by the school. They will go without.
At the same time, Hessle is a thriving community of little
independent shops and businesses. Now, with
this pandemic, people's livelyhoods are at risk. Supermarket sales
are up by at least 5% yet our local independent sales are already down
by more than this, a lot more.
We are raising money to cover all of the above as much as we
possibly can. The money raised will go towards the following:
- Care Packages for those who can't get out, providing essential items like food staples, toilet roll (or tissue of some sort), soap etc. Whatever they need to be deemed essential.
- Food deliveries of essential food items, using where possible our independent food shops. Hessle has two butchers, two delicatessens and a fruit and veg shop as well as access to Heron and Coop. These independents also have access to wholesalers the public don't. If someone can't get out or doesn't have something they need, we can supply it.
- Meals - if we all come together, we will be able to provide meals to the most vulnerable and children who need it if schools close. We can only do this with funding and volunteers and we know Hessle will unite on this front. These could be refridgerated/frozen and ready to cook, supplied by our local food businesses or a pizza delivery for a family in quarantine, a sandwich from the delis etc, this supports the community and our business community.
I'm sure we can do much more. But we are asking you, now, to dig as deep or give as much as you can afford, even £1 will help to enable us to support everyone through this current crisis.
