Supporting The Local Community

Highwood Care Home have had the great pleasure of supporting the local community with a food donation to the local food bank.

Earlier this month, Home Manager Stacey, visited and spent time with the team over at East-The-Water Community Pantry. Understanding the work that is done down at the pantry and how they support the Bideford community.

The goal of the East-The-Water Community Pantry is to provide food and hygiene items free to families in need and who are struggling financially, especially during this cost of living crisis. With a large focus being very much on relieving food poverty in children. Provide what they can primarily at times when families are under extra pressure during school holidays and closures.

This was a great opportunity for us to meet some of the local community and show our support for the work that they are doing in Bideford. Whilst paying a visit, of course, we also had to give a donation of some vital goods that will be able to support those within our community. Allowing us to build strong foundations and links with those within the community.
