🌾💚 **A HUGE HARVEST THANK YOU!** 💚🌾

We are absolutely humbled by the generosity of our local schools and churches this harvest season!

Our amazing school communities have donated an incredible *1,758kg of food*, with a further *562kg from our local churches*. That's a fantastic *2,320kg in total!* 🎉

A massive thank you to everyone who organised collections, spread the word, brought in donations and helped make this possible. From pupils and parents to teachers, church congregations and volunteers, every contribution makes a difference.

These donations will help us provide essential food and support to local individuals and families facing hardship in the months ahead.

We are so proud to be part of such a generous and caring community. Thank you for being our *Harvest Heroes!* 💚

👀 Fancy supporting your local community this winter?

We’re looking for volunteers to help us at this year’s Tesco Winter Food Collection 💚

As a volunteer, you’ll help us greet customers, share our shopping list, answer customers’ questions and sort donations.

We’ll be in local Tesco Superstore on Thursday 26th and Saturday 28th November raising vital donations of food to make sure we can support people facing hardship this winter.

If you can, please do lend a hand. Find out more by emailing [email protected]

💚 A huge thank you to everyone who supports Bicester Foodbank throughout the year! 💚

We’d like to say a special thank you to all of our September supporters. This list doesn’t even include all of the wonderful Harvest Festival collections that have been coming in – so there are even more people to thank! 🙏

Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference to local people experiencing financial hardship, and we are incredibly grateful for your continued generosity.

🥫 A little mystery at Lidl… 🧐

If anyone knows what might be happening to the donations being left in the Bicester Lidl collection bins, we’d love to hear from you! For the past few weeks, we’ve arrived to collect the donations only to find the bins almost empty. This is very unusual, as we would normally collect a good amount of food each time.

If you know whether the collection arrangements have changed, or if there’s anything we should be aware of, please get in touch with us.

And, of course, *thank you to everyone who continues to donate* – we really do appreciate it. 💚

Today we gave thanks to 20 years of supporting the Bicester community. We remembered Janet Ray’s work in establishing the food bank, her 15 years of service and gave thanks for the establishment we have today. Thank you to all who joined us, it was lovely to have so many people.

Special thanks to the Bicester Methodist Church for hosting us, Orchard Baptist Church for the worship, Tottie’s Bakehouse for the amazing cake and all the volunteers who helped served refreshments and tidy up!
