Christmas Cards!

Last week we received a wonderful donation of food from St Catherine's Catholic Primary School that pupils and staff had collected.

And they also made these fantastic Christmas cards for some of our clients.

We love the caring messages and details in each of them. Thank you 😊

Donating to the foodbank over the Christmas period?

Our foodbank offices will be shut from 23rd Dec, but you can still drop off donations at the foodbank donation points in Tescos.

This was a photo from this afternoon at Tesco Extra Savile St, which was overflowing from the generosity of shoppers💚

Yesterday it felt a bit like we were being inundated with donations - in a good way!

These are just some of the food donations we received yesterday.

We want to say a massive thank you to all of the Schools, Churches, businesses and individuals who have donated. We’re so grateful! 💚

Last week, we held a gathering to thank our amazing foodbank volunteers for all the hard work and support they provide year round.

There was tasty food, a chance to mix and mingle, and a fairly challenging quiz!

Thank you to everyone who was involved 💚

Thank you to Church Of Christ in Darnall with St Albans Festival Church who donated these children's toys last week.

We'll make sure they find good homes for Christmas 🧸

Next week is the start of the school Christmas holidays, so here is a useful list of places that kids can eat for free (or cheap) during the holiday.

Q: How many people sought help from the foodbank last month?

A: 751 people

This means that the equivalent of 6,759 meals were provided by the foodbank in November. And more than a third of them were for children.

As we are now into the winter, we will need donations more than ever.

📣 Tesco Winter Food Collection update!

The totals are in and donations from shoppers at Tesco Savile St and Tesco Ecclesall Rd during our collection at the end of November will provide 7,277 meals to people in need.

That's just over 3 tonnes!!! Which is apparently the same as a small elephant 🐘

#InternationalVolunteerDay 🌍

Did you know that 50 people regularly volunteer with the foodbank, and another 50 help at our annual Winter Food Collection at Tesco.

Without these people, we simply wouldn't be able to do what we do - we want to say the biggest thank you

This looks like the perfect gift to curl up with on the sofa with a cuppa!

A big thank you to @harrogatefestivals.bsky.social who donated a number of copies as a part of the #BigRead2025

Today is #GivingTuesday!

Giving Tuesday began as a counterpoint to Black Friday and is a day which encourages giving and generosity.

Could give financially to the foodbank?

Money given allows us to target specific items when we have a high need and helps with managing stock levels.

Thank you 💚

Today has been a day of sorting and weighing all of the donations from the Tesco food collection last week - no small task!

Our fantastic Monday team have been joined by some wonderful volunteers from Aviva, who offer some extra hands for this mammoth task each year. Thank you to everyone 💚
