We collect donated goods weekly, and all the in kind donations from our Harvest Service were given to the Abingdon Foodbank.

Save the Children
Save the Children exists to help every child reach their full potential. In the UK and around the world, we make sure children stay safe, healthy and keep learning, so they can become who they want to be. We lead the way on tackling problems like pneumonia, hunger and protecting children in war, while making sure each child’s unique needs are cared for. We find new ways to reach children who need us most, no matter where they’re growing up.
The Trussell Trust
