Together we provided more than 42,000 meals

Last year we provided in excess of 42,000 meals to local people in need. We didn’t stop there. We also provided support to other initiatives and organisations tackling food poverty, including holiday lunch clubs, community fridges and providers of hot cooked meals.

A Harvest thank you

Despite the ongoing challenges of increased living costs felt by us all, we were overwhelmed by the response to this year’s harvest appeal. During the harvest festival period we received in excess of 4.2 tonnes of food donations. This represents 246 boxes of food to give to people in our community.
