Mabel's Meals

As well as getting ready for Mabel's Birthday Walk on Sunday, we've been getting ready to send out / for supporters to collect our Hugs for Christmas presents. We had 24 in total ready to go and 16 have been snapped up! With 12 days until the last 2nd post for Christmas and 19 days until Christmas, if you want to send a Hug to a loved one, get in touch!
£9 with collection and £10 with postage it's a lovely stocking filler where you feed a dog for a week! ❤️
Thanks to Pauline, Sandra, Jane, Sally, Elaine and Diane! Plus the two supporters who bought them from the Craft Stall! 😁
It's at least £144 and 16 food parcels, although all have paid a little over the suggested donation so far! ❤️
💜 Thank you! 💜

November has been a busy month for deliveries as we've increased the number of parcels for the Halifax Community Fridge, we've started supporting Calder Food Support and of course we've continued to help Todmorden Food Drop In.
Full drops can be seen below.
For us to be able to continue to help, we need to raise up to £1500. It's a huge total and we need every penny.
Our final events of the year are Mabel's Birthday Walk and an online Christmas Raffle (going live on Monday!)
Please support in any way you can - comment on posts, share, and if you can participate!

Our Crafters are doing an amazing job at the mo! After all their hard work, we were bake to attend Christ Church, Sowerby Bridge on Saturday for their craft market!
Sally and Tiegan welcomed lots of interest and found perfect presents for all who enquired!
With Christmas decorations, accessories for dogs and their peeps and other lovely gift ideas, they did a fabulous job with the stall and it paid off! 😁
We raised £137.75!
Thanks to all the crafters but of course Sally and Tiegan especially! ❤️
Please check out our new HUGS too. These make a lovely stocking filler for Christmas! 😁
Message for info.

A real pleasure visiting Jollyes Halifax - The Pet People today to collect the donations made by their fabulous customers this month. An unbelievable 717 tins of dog food - enough meat to fill more than 230 food parcels! A massive thank you to Megan, Zoe and all their colleagues for the fantastic job they do raising awareness of Mabel’s Meals, your support makes a huge difference 🐶 ❤️

We LOVE these! Our Crafters have been busy again and created these lovely crocheted purple hearts and we've turned them into hugs!
If there is a dog person in your life and you don't know what to get them for Christmas, you can purchase a hug that can be sent to you or directly to them with a personalised message! A small card with a heart as a memento or as a keyring in a metallic envelope, and your loved one will know they are feeding a dog for a week! Or treat yourself! 😉
A suggested donation of £10 each including 2nd class postage. To receive in time for Christmas, our last post date is 17th December.
If you'd like one, please message the page and we'll arrange from there! 😁❤️
We'd really appreciate feedback, so comment, share or tag others!

It’s been a brilliant week at Mabel’s Meals! One of our highlights was when Ian met Daryl from Red Heart Crochet
Daryl’s dog, Alfred, sadly passed away earlier this year. In his memory she created redheartcrochet to keep his spirit alive. While visiting our friends at Jollyes Halifax - The Pet People, Daryl heard about our charity and kindly collected a wonderful hamper filled with dog toys and goodies for us 🐾 ❤️.
We’re also thrilled that Daryl will be joining our crafters group!
It’s amazing how our love for dogs brings us together, creating friendships and support that make a real difference.

We're absolutely delighted that we are teaming up with Halifax Vets for Pets!
Our donation station will be in the waiting area soon and we've more ideas in the pipeline where we can work together to help local families with their dogs.
Thanks to Sally and her team, especially Lisa and Katie (pictured) for being so welcoming! ❤️
