In an incredible display of kindness, students and staff have come together to donate a staggering total of 1459 food items to the Foodshare charity.
Unlike a food bank, Foodshare offers food for a reduced rate, so people can maintain their choice and their dignity – a hand up, not a hand out! Starting in 2020, the programme now feeds over 150 families every week in the local area.
This remarkable effort was met with heartfelt gratitude from Sian Jenkinson, the Operations Manager of Foodshare.
“OOOHHH MYY GOODNESS!! That is the biggest collection in one place ever!! Thank you so much, on behalf of Foodshare, that is mind blowing! Well done to all the amazing pupils and staff for bringing in a tin!!
The collection drive, which took place as part of the December Non-Uniform Day, saw an overwhelming response from the school community, showcasing the spirit of unity and compassion that defines our school. It also served as a reminder that acts of kindness can have a significant impact on others.
Donated items will be distributed before Christmas to families and individuals in need within the Conwy area, providing much-needed support during these challenging times. Food Share has been a lifeline for many, and this donation drive will help to sustain its vital work.
We hope to build on the work here and have future events to support Foodshare and other local based charities. A massive thank you to pupils, parents and staff alike for giving so generously.
