I am putting this out just in case you aren’t aware of the Food Bank Run initiative. This is a campaign which encourages runners to run to a food bank with some food at a time when they are most in need of donations. Running clubs, parkruns and individuals are registering and taking part from Lands End to John O’Groats. The running community helping the local community ❤️

More information can be found on this link.

A great idea. I personally wouldn't fancy doing it as part of a running club, but maybe as an individual. Do you know how that works Dexy? (I guess I should really read the link in full 😍)

Yes, it is all explained in the link. 😂

No reason why you can’t do it as an individual Just check when your food bank is open to receiving a donation, and check what items they are most in need of. You can register your run with Food Bank Run. Then go for a run and donate your items. It might be easier to donate and then run 😂

If you want, get someone to take a picture of you at the food bank and you can put it on the Food Bank Run facebook page.

one of my local parkruns does a ‘bring one thing, a packet or a tin’ once a month, as a collection for a local food bank…..works really well

An excellent scheme to bring regular donations to food banks Madge. Well done to your parkrun.
