We made our regular food drop to Halifax Community Fridge today with Kirsty and Bert delivering as usual. After Oatey and Benny's posts, Bert wanted to go one better... 🤣

As we usher 2025 out and welcome the New Year, we wish you all a better 2026. Whether financially, personally, or simply with more smiles and sunshine.
Thank you to all those who support us in any way, as a client, food bank, volunteer, supporter or trustee. 🥰

It was Oatey’s turn to deliver some Christmas cheer to our friends at Calder Food Support today! He ensured 10 food packs were delivered safely including some bonus treats and a toy 🎅 🌲 🐶
Merry Christmas everyone!

With Love from all at Mabel’s Meals ❤️

P.S. Benny and Oatey are considering opening their own delivery service in the New Year 😂

We visited our friends at Jollyes Halifax - The Pet People today and collected an incredible 408 tins of dog food provided from donations by their brilliant customers! One customer also donated a 12kg bag of kibble ❤️. That will help us fill another 136 food packages.
Thank you to Phil, Megan, Zoe and all the team at Jollyes for supporting us this year and to all their customers who have made donations, you have all made a massive difference to many dogs and their owners.
We hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas 🐶 🧑‍🎄 🎄
With love from all at Mabel’s Meals xx

Today Benny was in charge of delivering some cat food, dog treats and toys to our friends at Calder Food Support as a Christmas bonus! ❤️
He was on his best behaviour and didn't even pinch a treat! So earned a box full!
Thanks to him and his mum! 😊

All our food parcels since the 1st of this month have had an extra packet of dog treats in them as a Christmas treat. 😁
But today Ian visited Todmorden Food Drop In for our last donation of 2025. As well as our usual 50 food parcels, we also gifted 50 packets of dog treats, 50 dog toys, 20 boxes of cat food, 20 packets of cat treats and 20 cat toys to share a bit more Christmas spirit!🎄🎁🌟
Our thoughts go to one of our customers particularly who despite having sadly lost his dog recently due to ill health, still came over to thank Ian and Mabel's Meals for our support. For this beloved pooch, please hold your own a little closer this evening. 💙
Thanks as always to Ian and Sally and their compassion and commitment to the monthly food drops in Tod throughout this year.
For Tod customers, it would be a long wait for our next visit at the end of Jan, so we have scheduled an extra visit on 3rd Jan, as well as the 31st, so a little more support at this time of year! 💜 See you then. With love, Mabel's Meals! 💜
