We are thrilled to be named Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber’s Charity of the Year 2019 and looking forward to working with everyone this year.
Together we will support more communities across Yorkshire with surplus food and people through our Employability Programmes.
If you are shopping in Tesco in the next 72 hours please consider donating some ambient goods for people in need. The vital frontline charities and community groups we support especially need:
-kettle food, rice, pasta
-tinned meat, fish, veg, fruit
-tea, coffee and cereals
Please place whatever you can spare in the donation point on your way out of store and Tesco will transport the donations onto our volunteers.
Thank you so very much
"Westwood Primary School in Middleton have opened their very own food store at school. The aim of the store is to reduce food waste and stop perfectly good food ending up at landfill." Excellent collab from @FareShareYorks! https://southleedslife.com/offering-a-helping-hand-at-westwood-primary/
So pleased @FareShareYorks are supporting this initiative.
Thank you @FareShareYorks for providing the ingredients for our cooking group. We made chicken & vegetable spaghetti marinara & chocolate brownies!
