Thank you to everybody who donated items last week during our Harvest Festival for Exeter Food Bank. The items were collected this week and we have been told we collected a massive 88.6kg of items! This is a fantastic amount and will make a huge difference to so many families in the local area. See below the response from the food bank and a cerfitfcate for our achievement!
Dear all at St.Nicholas Primary School
Our huge thanks goes out to you and all your staff, parents and pupils for your generous donation to Exeter Foodbank.
You may be interested to know that in 2022, Exeter Foodbank provided 3 days' worth of emergency food for 9426 local people, of whom nearly 1 in 3 was a child. This is an average of roughly 181 people per week. These figures have gone up by 40%.
Without the generous support of our local community, we would be unable to provide this vital service to these people in need who are struggling to put food on the table for themselves and their families.
Your donation will be very welcome to our clients- thank you so much!
With best wishes and much gratitude.
