TALES FROM THE BOOT & SHOE
SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY

Food Collection & Selection Box Appeal
Last Christmas, something wonderful happened at the Boot & Shoe. Our generous customers came together to donate £2 each, which allowed us to purchase selection boxes for The Raft Foundation - Rossendale's Foodbank. The response was heartwarming, and we knew we had to do it again.
This year, we're taking it a step further. Not only will we be collecting donations for selection boxes, but we're also setting up a dedicated collection point for food donations to help local families in need.
What We're Collecting
The Raft Foundation has let us know which items are most needed right now:
- Tinned meat, vegetables, and soup
- Coffee, tea, and long-life milk
- Cereals, porridge, and dried fruit
- Toiletries: toothpaste, soap, sanitary products, and nappies (size 5-6 plus)
- Pet food for dogs and cats
How You Can Help
You'll find our collection box right at the entrance to the bar - you can't miss it! Feel free to drop off any of the items listed above whenever you visit. If you'd prefer to make a cash donation towards selection boxes, just speak to any member of our team and they'll be happy to help.
Every single donation, no matter how small, makes a real difference to families in our community.
Thank you for helping us support those who need it most this Christmas.
