Harrogate & District Foodbank Donations 2024

 

We made the podium!

In 2024 Christ Church was the Harrogate & District Foodbank’s 3rd biggest donor of food, only surpassed by collections from Waitrose customers and Morrisons customers!

Last year Christ Church donated 2,576 Kg of food to Harrogate & District Foodbank, that’s just over two and a half tons! We donated over 7% of Foodbank’s total food donations. That is a similar amount to the previous year (2023) when we donated 2,630 Kg of food to the Foodbank.

During 2024, the Harrogate and District Foodbank fed 4,059 people (2,750 adults and 1,309 children). Unfortunately, their costs have risen significantly, and their direct financial donations have dropped meaning that in 2024 they actually ran at a deficit financially.

The Foodbank is always grateful for donations of tinned goods and toiletries. Their website is regularly updated with items that they are in need of. We have collection points in both the Church and Parish Centre.

Thank you
