Supporting Your Local Food Bank This Christmas
This Christmas, Oakheart is supporting local food banks once again to help make the season a little brighter for those in need. We’re inviting our clients, colleagues, and communities to join us in spreading Christmas cheer, far and near.
We invite our clients and local community whether they are planning a move or simply preparing for the holiday season, to donate food items while they clear out their cupboards. Even if you aren’t moving, this is a great opportunity to think of those who may be struggling this Christmas. As you plan your own shopping, please consider adding a few extra items for those who need them most
