Saturday 19 July our Lewes Food Banks Summer collection outside Aldi, Tesco, Waitrose. All day collecting - but nobody does more than a single one hour 'shift.' During the long summer holidays the campaign Feeding Britain describes what should be six weeks of childhood joy as when ' children in the UK are at greater risk of hunger and food insecurity.' This summer 3 milllion children will be at risk of hunger during the school holidays. The loss of free school meals during the holidays costs a family £30-40 per week. Our collection cannot solve a problem on this scale, that is for government, society to fix. But we can help ensure no child in our town goes hungr y through July and August During the day our collectors will provide shoppers with a shopping list of food items. Our request to shoppers is to add just one additional purchase from our list to their shop and donate to the stall we'll have outside the stores. Added together this amounts to one huge total. Please register to collect for an hour on Saturday 19 July . Once registered we'll then be in touch with a rota. Click the 'get tickets' button to volunteer. If you can't help please donate every pound donated will be used to fund the items Lewes Food Banks have told us they need in the greatest number. Click the 'get tickets' button and choose 'donation' we'll then combine these items donors have helped pay for with our collection. The all-day collection is distributed direct to the three Lewes food banks: Fitzjohns, Landport, Malling plus the Lewes Community Fridge.
