Determined that the Isle of Axholme Foodshare Project would never again need to throw away food spoiled by a power cut #Freemasons of Temple Belwood Lodge at Crowle have stepped in to with the donation of a portable generator.
The Foodshare Project is a community-based food support initiative helping about 300 people a week from its base at St. Nicholas’ Church Youth Hub in Haxey, providing services to throughout the Isle, including Epworth, Crowle, Belton, Luddington, and surrounding locations.
Lodge member Iain Hogg, left in our picture, said: “A prolonged power cut meant food stored in fridges was spoiled, highlighting the project’s limited infrastructure and dependence on donated resources.
“Temple Belwood members had previously contributed to the project. We were aware of ongoing power issues in Haxey and the project’s vulnerability to power cuts, so we donated this petrol generator to support the project and preserve the food it distributes – but most importantly to safeguard the 300 service users who rely on it every week.”
