Staff at a construction consultancy have donated thousands of items to create more than 100 Christmas hampers for Northamptonshire’s needy.
The team at Bhangals Construction Consultants collected both essentials and luxuries from their own pocket to fill each of the 107 parcels for SCCYC Food Aid.
Hampers included essentials such as pasta, teabags, tins, cereal, coffee, juice, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and toothpaste, as well as treats such as mince pies, chocolates and biscuits.
They also put gifts such as colouring books and puzzles inside.
SCCYC Food Aid, in St James Mill Road, Northampton, provide much-needed food and supplies to families living in poverty, and in crisis.
Beneficiaries consist of people facing complex issues and vulnerabilities who require critical support and vital resources.
Bhangals Construction Consultants operations manager, Katie Newman, said: “We know, for many people, this time of year is very difficult both emotionally and financially. After the last few years we have had, we really wanted to put together these hampers to make Christmas just that little bit easier for those who might be finding things tough.
“For a lot of us, we take for granted just having food and essentials, but for others it’s a massive struggle. If us doing this just takes some pressure off, it means a lot. We’re so glad to be able to help.”
