She said: '˜Throughout the school holidays, many families struggle to buy enough food for their whole family.
'˜This is because children who receive free school meals during term time don't have access to them during the holiday period, so food supplies are in demand more than ever right now.'Â
Luisa Castle, director of Home Instead Southampton, said: '˜By donating to the Southampton City Mission, it really helps those in need.'Â
