Harvest Donors 2024
Every year since the Foodbank has opened, local schools, churches and other organisations have supported us by collecting donations for the Foodbank.
For several years now, we have invited those having Harvest Festivals and collections to become ‘Harvest Champions’. As Harvest Champions, we allocate them three particular items that we include in our parcels, and ask them to concentrate on collecting those. This is usually simpler for them and particularly for us, because it allows us to target the stock and the amounts of each item that we actually need and have room to store, and it also makes it much easier for us to sort what comes.
We then send certificates of appreciation for the donations, letting them know the weight that they collected. Please don’t compare the weights though, as different Harvest Champions collected things that weighed different amounts – packets of instant mash weigh a lot less than jars of pasta sauce! And of course, some schools and churches are smaller than others. We are tremendously grateful for EVERY donation because they ALL help us to help those in need in our area!
