Iris Court Care Home is proud to be supporting The Food Shed this Easter and we need your help.
We are collecting Easter eggs to donate to families in our local community.
Lets come together as a community to put a smile on children's faces and spread a little Easter joy to those less fortunate.
Pop in and leave your Easter egg donations with us - together we can help make Easter a little brighter for our local families.
Our last day of donations is Friday 27th March, these will then be delivered to The Food Shed Stevenage for distribution.
Do you have kids coats that you could pass on to families in need?

We greatly appreciate donations of preloved, clean, good quality Winter Children’s coats, all sizes accepted (from Baby to Teenage). Unfortunately we can’t accept any other clothing items.
Please kindly take your donations in a carrier bag to any of the following donation points as soon as possible (please be mindful these venues are not always open so you may need to leave your donation outside) thank you so much ππ»
DROP OFF LOCATIONS FOR DONATIONS ‡οΈ
Once we have donations we will be running weekly pop up events to help distribute to those in need.
