We were – as we are every year – thrilled to receive very generous donations from the local Jewish Community. Every November on Mitzvah Day, we receive a huge number of food donations at Ashford Place, which is vital when we have so many homeless people accessing our services at this time of year. It is not only useful for those that are homeless, but for those that we work with in independent and semi-independent housing.
But! On Sunday, the collection day, the Sainsburys in Finchley Road suffered a flood! This put a real fly in the ointment, as this is where the collection point for the donations was going to be. However, both Sara Goodman and Mike Alef -the organisors of this donations- were not deterred by this, finding a new venue and travelling to Golder’s Green Sainsburys, collecting the donations there.
Many thanks to Sara, Mike, all their volunteers and Sainsburys.
