Food Drive- Wednesday 23rd November
14 Nov 2022
From the Charity Committee-
On Wednesday 23rd November we are doing a Food Drive for Ripon Foodbank. Please can you bring in any spare food you have. Tinned food, dried goods and long life milk are great, not things that go off fast like fresh fruit/veg or bread. If you want to donate money we are also collecting money to donate to the foodbank.
During the day we are going to different activities linked to food including; drawing pictures and writing messages to help put smiles on people's faces when they are not happy.
Each term we have chosen a different charity to support, We chose Ripon Foodbank this term because we wanted to support local people and it is always on the news about how many people are finding it hard right now. 13 million people live below the poverty line in the UK and more people are using foodbanks, last year over 1 million food packages were given out. We have asked for a specific list from the Foodbank and will share that with you when we get it.
We already have some donated food in school but it would be great to see how generous the Fountains family can be!
