This Harvest, Barnsley Foodbank partnership are keen to continue collections- with Covid-19 rules being followed throughout.
Throughout October, we are working alongside local schools, churches and organisations to collect donations for our yearly Harvest campaign. This year, we are raising the importance of hot meals in the colder months and our donations are going towards our emergency food parcels. Additionally this year, we are adding Halloween/Autumn themed activity packs to our food parcels for the children to enjoy over half term. Like our Summer campaign, the children will receive crafts, games, reading books and stationery, that we hope will entertain them in this difficult time.
Below are our FAQs regarding the Harvest Donations. These will be updated whenever there are changes, so be sure to check here for the up to date information. Thank you.
