POPI is very blessed to receive most of its donations through kind members of the public donating their preloved items. However, sometimes we also need new items such as toiletries and nappies. Due to COVID we have also had to limit the amount of donations coming in despite referrals still going out to families in need.
We called upon our local supermarkets to see if they could help and Morrisons, Asda and Sainsbury’s all based in Keighley rose to the challenge. They provided us with so many wonderful items including toiletries, nappies, wipes, small gifts for parents and even funds for safety gates – which we often have to buy to keep up with the high demand.
Together with their help and members of the public donating through our Amazon Wishlist we have been able to meet every referral throughout the pandemic so far. There is so much kindness out there, thank you for helping us help others.
