Can you help Kenilworth woman to carry on providing home cooked meals to vulnerable residents during Coronavirus outbreak?

Since before the UK was put into 'lockdown' by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Molly Bufton Stear has been making and delivering the meals each day to elderly and self-isolating residents in Kenilworth.

But she needs a supply of ingredients to keep her Molly's Meals service going.

When businesses closed temporarily she received donations of food and supplies but she is also appealing to supermarkets and other food providers in the area to see if they can spare anything for her to use including fresh produce and containers.

Molly said: "Please help in any way that you can, however big or small.

"Let's pull together as a community and help those that have done so much for us."

Generous supporters have donated more than £1,000 to the cause via the JustGiving website.

"We’ve set up a supply chain so we can purchase essentials and have 8 local volunteers on standby to either cook or deliver the food.

"Any donation is gratefully received and all monies are spent on food and containers."

Molly is also recruiting more volunteers to help with deliveries or cooking.
