Harvest Donors 2025
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, (sometimes more for the High Schools) 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!

This all gave the grand total of 2134.1kg of food, toiletries and household items (washing detergent, toilet rolls etc.)! A marvellous total, thank you so much to all who donated! It is about 230kg more than was donated during harvest in 2024, which is particularly pleasing when out ‘normal’ donations are falling due to the rise in the cost of living. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
