Toot for Tucker
On Tuesday 7 December 2021 we will again be Tooting for Tucker. This charity food drive is now in its 11th year, and we continue to be astounded by the generosity of our community as we set out to help fill the local food banks ahead of Xmas the coming year and again this year, we are asking for people to provide their own bags, please. Where once Food Banks were seen as providing primarily for the poorer folks in our community often on benefits, that is no longer the case, those on lower wages who struggle to meet
extra costs such as school fees, new uniforms, camp fees, and of course the rates or a warrant or registration on the car, all which seemed to come at the same time. Today, we find that because of Covid, many of our small business owners are suffering, the income they rely on is just not there, but bills still need to be paid. Our rural community has also suffered badly this year, many farmers have had a great deal of damage done to their properties due to flooding and windstorms. Cont’d on page 4
