When donating to a food bank, many of us may think of giving pasta or tinned food. 🥫 Though this food is appreciated, our food banks are also in need of some more unexpected, but essential items. Here's six unexpected things you can donate to your local food bank ⤵️

Hello! We are working on a campaign. If you can help with any of these Pls DM: - social content (insta, twitter, TikTok) - design - time for research & emailing partner organisations - support getting fundraising site set up & managed - time doing outreach - supply of warm items

There’s just no words for this. Who is deciding to provide this food instead of a voucher?? So that families starve. Because they don’t trust them to spend money on food. This is despicable. It’s a pandemic. Things are bad enough already. Show some respect.

We have so far raised £12k which we have been spending on stationery, study books and laptops for vulnerable families but the request keep on coming @Linkey_UK /2 #COVID19 #homeschooling #donations #books

We have a new website! Finally got around to creating a simple site to keep track of all of our campaigns, press and work since we launched 3 years ago. There’s some great photos & vids from over the years on there. Take a look! 👩‍💻🥳👨🏼‍💻

We are working with this important campaign to provide underprivileged children with the online learning tools that they need during this lockdown. Please share the link with people who may want to help! 🧑‍💻 📚 👩‍💻

I’m working with a group of volunteers to try to get educational resources and stationery into the homes of vulnerable children who are lacking text books, laptops and just basic pens, rulers etc. Do I know anyone here with stationery contacts who could donate any items? RT
