Thank you to everyone who supported our fundraising day at Tesco in Stow-on-the-Wold on Saturday. We raised a fantastic £470 in donations and 450kg of food, which will help replenish our stocks ahead of the school holidays when we are always busy. There was a lot of interest in the work of the foodbank and we had some interesting conversations with visitors from Australia and Belgium about the foodbanks in their countries. We also met a man who had experienced a house fire and was so grateful to the foodbank which had helped him out. And a special thank you to the young girl who spent all her pocket money on a basket of items for us.
Thanks also to all the volunteers who helped on the day and sorting all the food at the store yesterday.
Don’t forget you can also donate at the permanent collection point in Tesco at any time.
