Hawzah News Agency - (Banbury - UK) - North Oxfordshire MP Victoria Prentis visited the Banbury Mosque to thank the volunteers of Banbury Community Fridge for their service to the community during the Covid-19 pandemic.

MP Victoria Prentis visited the Banbury Mosque on Friday September 25 where she also caught up with constituents, who have recently returned to the Mosque following coronavirus lockdown.

The Banbury Community Fridge has provided a vital lifeline for lots of families in the community over recent months. Designed to reduce food waste and open to everyone, volunteers with the Banbury Mosque delivered thousands of isolation food packs to the vulnerable and those over the age of 65 during lockdown.

This work prompted many members of the community to nominate The Community Fridge for Victoria’s Unsung Hero award, which was promptly awarded in August. Victoria was very pleased to see The Community Fridge in action, and thank the volunteers and the Banbury Mosque in person on Friday.
