Wolverham Pupils Donate Generously

Thank you to everyone at Wolverham Primary and Nursery School for their generous donations!

"Share A Meal With Someone You Have Never Met"

Mrs Marsh (Learning Mentor), Joel (Deputy Head Boy), Sophie (Deputy Head Girl), Chloe (Head Girl), Kyle (Head Boy) and Ms Finch (Head Teacher) drop off their donation at one of our distribution centres (left to right)

The pupils at Westminster Primary School have been thinking about what it means to ‘Share a meal with someone you have never met’  during their Harvest Assembly this year. They talked about how important it is to share food to ensure people in our local community don’t go hungry. Pupils then celebrated with songs and poems and all staff members donated fresh foods to create sharing platters for our children to share after assembly with parents and guests who had come to watch the assembly.

Chloe (Head Girl) said that it was important to donate to Foodbank “because not everybody can afford food and this helps them to survive when times are tough.”

Thank you to Kingsley Primary!

A big THANK YOU to all the pupils and staff at Kingsley Primary School who donated 88kgs of food last Monday!

Thankyou to Bishops' Bluecoat!

A massive thanks to the pupils at Bishops' Bluecoat Church of England High School in Chester for collecting food for us!

 

We rely on donations of food from local schools and community groups. Our thanks also go to the staff for their support for our work and their invitation to speak to Years 8 to 11. At Foodbank we welcome the opportunity to engage with people in our community and encourage them to ask the questions we are beginning to...

 

Why is it that, between now and last November, 2989 people in Chester and Ellesmere Port didn't have enough money to eat?

 

Why did the number of people in the UK receiving 3 days of emergency food between April and September 2013 (350 000 people!) triple compared to the same period last year? (Click here to find out more).

 

and finally... what should we - as people who may find ourselves in a crisis situation without warning - be doing about it?
