DESPITE the fantastic response to the Hereford Times  story calling for donations of food for those in need, more is still needed.

Food can be brought in to the Hereford Times office on Holmer Road, where it will then go on to stock Hereford's food banks - or community larders - that make up parcels for those in need.

The food and other items most needed in the community larders is:

Tinned fruit, tinned veg, tinned rice pudding, potatoes, tinned custard, packet Smash, dry goods, peas, UHT milk, carrots, dried milk, sweetcorn, sugar, tomatoes, tea bags, coffee, spaghetti, rice, tinned tuna / salmon/ pilchards / sardines, pasta packet meals, pasta sauce jars, fruit juice cartons, corned beef, breakfast cereals, Spam, biscuits, meat and fish paste, marmalade, jam, tinned meat, instant noodles, tinned chicken casserole, minced beef, ravioli, stews, pies, hot dogs, meatballs, curries, chilli, sausages in baked beans, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, soap powder, toilet rolls and washing-up liquid.
