Ryde Town Council is delighted to announce that Oakvale Foodshare have been granted £500 from the Mayor's Charity Fund to further its mission of providing essential meals to families in need.
This funding will be channelled into creating meal bags that cater to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, ensuring that families have access to meals.
Founder of Oakvale Foodshare, Jacqui Tweitman said:
"I am grateful for the generous support from the Mayor's Charity Fund which allows me to enhance our efforts in addressing food insecurity within our community.
