Brethren of Rutland Lodge 1179, help the Everyone Eats campaign and Foodbank with a donation of tinned food, boxes of cereal, toilet rolls, drinks and various other sundries. W.Bro Daines pictured below, delivered the items to the Foodbank at Kirk Hallam Community Hall in Ilkeston.
Tackling food poverty and social exclusion in Ilkeston one plate at a time.
Not everyone has access to a network of people they can call on if they are feeling alone. Social isolation affects many people from all walks of life, of all ages for many different reasons and is proven to have a negative effect on our mental heath.
Food poverty is sadly something which affects many local families as well as individuals. Food banks and government assistance only goes part way to fulfilling the food needs of those affected.
Everyone Eats was established to try and address these issues by getting members of the community together for events, open to all, centered around good company, music and full plates!
