MP praises Peterborough groups helping to feed those most in need
Two local groups supplying food for vulnerable and elderly residents in Peterborough during the coronavirus pandemic have been praised for their efforts.
MP for Peterborough Paul Bristow showed his gratitude to the Open Door Baptist Church in Harris Street, Millfield, and WestRaven Community Café in Hampton Court, Westwood, which both have community fridges.
The MP visited both places on Monday having helped to secure food donations.
He said: “The Millfield community fridge and the WestRaven Community Café are yet more examples of Peterborough’s community spirit.
“This is a tough time for many people and organisations like these are making a real difference. They are relying on donations, supermarkets and grant funding in order to make up food parcels for those who need help.
“It was great to help secure these donations, but they do need more.
“If you can help, please go give generously the next time you shop. If you need help, please don’t struggle alone. Peterborough’s proving again what a special city it is.
“They both make me proud of Peterborough.”
