Cllr Bacon said: “Thank you to everyone who donated and to all those involved in distributing the food at the Foodbank at King’s Church 1066.

“I collected a lot of food from the doorsteps of many residents and I would like to publicly thank them for their generosity at such a difficult time for so many of us. You have made such a positive difference to the lives of others in our community.”

“I will be available to collect food donations from your doorsteps, abiding by social distancing, on Monday April 13 from 9am onwards. If you would like to donate and can’t get to the Hastings Foodbank, please drop me a text with you address on 07973 410754 or email me on [email protected].”
