Aylesbury Mum helping pensioners and the vulnerable with food parcels during the coronavirus pandemic

Emily said: "In difficult times like these we really need to be supporting each other.

"Some of the empty shelves in Aylesbury actually shame us - we need to be looking after vulnerable groups who need help the most."

Scenes across Aylesbury this week include empty shelves and huge queues outside shop as people 'panic buy' essential items like toilet roll, tinned food and dried pasta.

You can read about that hereEmily will be putting together food packs of: milk, butter bread, tinned food, bacon, sugar eggs, jam and juice to be distributed to the elderly and vulnerable across Aylesbury Vale.

Emily has launched a crowd funder and is co-ordinating with a group of friends to ensure they have enough food to go around.

"I just can't get all of the other vulnerable groups out there not being able to eat because people are being selfish. We must help them out in their time of need.

"If we all work together we can give something back to the most vulnerable, to protect them in the most testing of times.

"My grandpa always taught me to give back when we can - so hopefully this can be a good start."

Emily is also looking for volunteers to help deliver parcels - if you think you could be able to do this - please email [email protected] for more information.
