VOLUNTEERS working at the Hinckley Area Foodbank have posted a list on social media of the food items that they are running low on.

The list of foods was posted on Facebook six’ days ago (21 June), with volunteers telling members of the public who would like to donate foods that “any and all donations are always appreciated.”

The foods include:

• Biscuits
• Large tinned mixed vegetables
• Sponge pudding
• Sugar
• Tinned beans
• Tinned fruit
• Tinned spaghetti

There are a total of six dedicated donation centres across the borough, open from Monday to Friday.

These are:
