As many of you may have seen on the news, the government is calling for everyone to stock up on certain items in case of a national outage.
We at Loanhead Post Office have teamed up with Andy's Man Club and ex-army veterans to make a list of the most essential items needed to help support the most vulnerable and elderly within our community in case they cannot get out to get these items. Together, we will help make sure no one in our community is left alone to deal with this crisis if it happens:
rice and pasta, porridge, nuts, dried fruit, chocolate, peanut butter, tuna, tinned potatoes, beans, soups, water, candles, wind-up radio, torch and batteries, toilet roll, hand sanitiser, and cash. Make sure warm clothes, blankets, and important documents are somewhere safe and on hand if needed.
We at Loanhead Post Office will be bringing in a lot of these items, so do not panic buy; we are here to help. Love to you all.
Team at Loanhead Post Office and store.
