18 Oct Foodbank Collection This Wednesday
As some of you will be aware, we have organised three school collections over the last 6 months for Food Bank Aid, a local charity which collects, sorts and distributes household packages to over 15 food banks in North London (including our local food banks – The Hive and Hornsey). We had an overwhelming response from parents and carers and received so many donations of food, toiletries and household goods, that we have agreed to run a school collection for Food Bank Aid at the end of every half term and term.
We are absolutely delighted to help support such a worthy cause, and we feel strongly as a school community we should help raise awareness of food poverty and engage particularly with our children about social responsibility, but most importantly help those families who are struggling.
If you can, we would be grateful if you are able to donate any of the items from this ‘most needed’ list on Wednesday 20th October (drop off only), and leave them at the main gates to either of the East and West offices. Crates / posters will be placed at both gates.
