Collecting non-perishable food and other essentials for Brue Larder food bank this Halloween 👻
Saturday 26th October - Friday 1st November 2024
About
Local residents set up Trick or Eat Bruton to collect food & other essentials for our community, as the temperature drops and the nights draw in.
In previous year’s we have placed Trick or Eat donation stations at residential addresses around Bruton. This year we’re doing things a little differently. This Halloween some of the town’s brilliant businesses and organisations will be hosting donation stations instead.
You can donate non-perishable food and other essentials into Trick or Eat boxes across Halloween week, which our volunteers will then collect and drop at Brue Larder food bank on 1st November.
We hope the good people of Bruton will once again come together help some of the most vulnerable people in our community and fill up Bruton’s food bank ahead of the colder months, when an influx of requests for help happens every year.
Thanks so much to everyone who is hosting a donation box or making a donation this year!
