Fresh vegetables for Foodbank clients
Date published: 18 October 2013
President Neil Helliwell from The Rochdale Rotary Club, volunteers from MIND and Rochdale Foodbank
Foodbank clients received fresh home grown vegetables in their food boxes thanks to a partnership of volunteers from MIND, the mental health charity who have an allotment not far from the town centre, and Rochdale Rotary Club who have been pioneering a unique method of growing vegetables in plastic bags when land is scarce.
A spokesman for the Foodbank said: "The foodbank encourages all forms of nutritious food to help keep clients as healthy as possible, and the vegetables made excellent soup."
