It began when Kev put the offer out on a local Facebook group where the requests for his help began flying in.
The 39-year-old has since started accepting food donations and is putting together the packages for the families in need, and even delivering them all himself.
Each parcel Kev makes contains enough meals to feed a family for a couple of days. They include meat, vegetables, pasta and even a few household essentials.
The offer doesn’t just extend to families, but also to adult or elderly Whitchurch residents who feel they need the help.
Kev said,
“There were times during my own childhood where things became tough for my family, so I understand what they’re going through.
“Being a firefighter has inspired me to help my community and I want to do more. I know these small tokens will make a difference to anyone who is uncertain about the times ahead.
“If you need help, tell me. Your reasons don’t matter, just don’t go hungry.”
Though Kev doesn’t have a definitive answer for how long he’ll keep providing the parcels, he says he will carry on whilst there is still a need.
So far the father-of-four has helped over 20 families and has even had support from other local businesses, including Bere Mill Butchery.
