Slow cookers donated to the Isle of Man Food Bank

by isleofman.com 27th June 2018

10 slow cookers have been donated to help people using the Isle of Man Foodbank.

They're been provided by the Rotary Club of Rushen and Western Mann.

President Paul Winnell says: "The Food Bank is a very worthy cause, fully deserving the support of our Rotary Club.

"On behalf of the members it is my privilege to hand over the slow cookers and we hope they will help many families to work their way out of a difficult time, often not of their own creation.

"Their crisis is our opportunity to help through support of the Foodbank."

Managing Director of the Isle of Man Foodbank Neal Mellon says: "Times are hard, many people are 'just about managing' so when a crisis occurs such as redundancy, illness or possibly a domestic situation, everything becomes impossible to manage.

"That's why Foodbank exists, we provide emergency food and, in many cases help clients to identify and resolve underlying problems by advising them of other support organisations such as Salvation Army, Debt Management, Social Services and Housing Matters, in a bid to get them back to independence."
