Christmas campaign is coming

Christmas is coming and as we all stock up on presents for our
loved ones it’s also time to spare a thought for those in need of a
helping hand.
The Kent Messenger’s annual campaign, You Can Help, will launch
later this month, in conjunction with the Maidstone Day Centre in
Knightrider Street.
Each year we collect cans of food for the homeless, together with
other donations which can help those who have fallen on hard
times.
Donations usually include warm, winter clothing, toiletries and
festive goodies.
Dozens of schools in the area got on board last year, along with
supermarkets, pubs and clubs.
If you would like to get involved and provide a collection point
for the campaign this year, contact the Friends of Maidstone Day
Centre by emailing contact@homelessinmaidstone.org.uk
or call trustee Angela Clay on 01622 844481 or Mike FitzGerald on
01622 743270.
More details of the campaign will be published in the KM in the
coming weeks.
