Generous Donations See Isle of Wight Primary School Fill Pantry Shelves

Two school children from Queensgate Foundation Primary in East Cowes have safely delivered six crates of donated items to the town's food pantry.

It follows a host of generous harvest festival donations, dropped off by families who attend the Beatrice Avenue school.

Year six school council members, Rose Clark and Leo Lippuner — both aged 10 — were tasked with the vital job of helping deliver the precious items in the school's minibus.

Leo said:

"We have brought the food people donated at school to the East Cowes Food Pantry. There's loads!"

Rose added:

"I am surprised there is this much food."

On hand to receive it, at East Cowes’ Parkside Pavilion, was Christine Faulkner.

She said:

"I'd like to thank Queensgate Foundation Primary.

"It has stocked our shelves and the food will go to good homes in the community.

"Hopefully it will last."
