Supporting local Charities and Food Banks
With the ongoing pandemic leaving many small businesses on their knees, and thousands of people without work, along with the fast approach of winter and Christmas, you may be feeling the need to give back to your community stronger than ever before. With many physical charity shops closed and overrun with donations from clear-outs during our first lockdown, it can be hard to know where to start. We have put together some information and useful links relevant to your part of the world on the app, to make it a little easier, should you want to look further at giving some support. Food banks always have a need, with more families relying on them this year, and Harrow Food Bank regularly update their website with items needed, and those they have plenty of, and they are taking donations below.
