Free food at Rochdale Town Hall and St Barnabas Church for flood affected

Following generous donations from the community, those who have been affected by floodwater over the last few days can access free food at Rochdale Town Hall and St Barnabas Church, Littleborough.

Speaking to Rochdale Online, Councillor Rina Paolucci said: “The donations have been great, but we are at the point now where we need to distribute what we have, rather that getting more of it.”

For anyone who has been affected by floodwater, free food, including dried and tinned food, clothes, bedding and toys can be accessed at:

• Rochdale Town Hall, Wednesday 30 December 2015, 2pm-6pm
• Rochdale Town Hall, Thursday 31 December 2015, 9am-1pm
• Rochdale Town Hall, Monday 4 January 2016, 9am-4pm
• St Barnabus Church, Wednesday 30 December 2015, 9am-5pm
• St Barnabus Church, Thursday 31 December 2015, 9am-5pm

There are also other venues set up across the borough by the community providing free food.

St Barnabas Church, Littleborough is no longer being used as a rest centre, however, is continuing to provide refreshments and support to the community including clothing, bedding, toys and food.

Anyone who is struggling to get to the above locations or needs assistance, Councillor Paolucci can be contacted on: 07877 405 021.
