Last year CETMA’s #Feedafamily4xmasday helped provide over 212 hampers to families who needed some badly needed extra support.
Christmas comes around quick, so it’s time once again to launch the Project and the Llanelli Standard is proud to continue supporting it!
Ryan Thomas, Editor said:
“#Feedafamily4xmasday does excellent work every year in our community and the Standard is proud to continue supporting it. The Llanelli community is always very generous and always offers support to families that need it.”
“West is always Best!”
The aim of the project is to provide a Christmas meal for those families who need extra support at Christmas.
“We want to provide a simple three course meal.” Said Orianna Evans from CETMA.
“That’s a starter, the main Christmas Meal, a dessert and some treats. We know that things are going to be much harder this year, so we’ve launched a raffle which will be drawn in December.”
“Top prize is a £100 One4All gift card, and we have lots of other prizes donated by local businesses.”
