A CHEQUE for £500 was presented to Andover foodbank by the Upper Clatford and Anna Valley May Fayre committee.

The foodbank helped 24 people in Upper Clatford and the Anna Valley in 2013 and has supported five people to date in 2014.

The money will go towards the cost of replacing the foodbank’s van, which the foodbank says is now too old and too small to cope with the quantity of food distributed.

The van is needed to transport food from collection points to its warehouses, where it is sorted and packed, and then to deliver food boxes and bulk food to distribution points.
