One-Can Food Collection Day

Saturday June 17^th and Sunday June 18^th are our next opportunities to serve the community and be very visible while doing it!
We are due back at Wycombe Sainsbury’s for both days of the weekend this time, to do the usual food drive on behalf of One Can Trust.

There are 3 slots today - Saturday:
9:30 – 12:00
12:00 – 2:00
2:00 – 4:00
and another three tomorrow.

We need at least 2 people present during each slot to be fully effective. Can you please assist by offering to be present for a 2 hour slot on one of the days or find a partner, friend, neighbour and be present for one hour each? Rotary tabards will be there along with the Rotary/One Can pull up. I will be doing the set up and close down each day.

Please let me know if you are able to assist.

When we do a food drive at Sainsbury’s, food to the value of over £2,000 is collected that would otherwise be purchased for cash by the food bank so it is a very valuable service that we are offering. Already this year it has been necessary for the foodbank to spend £66,772 in cash with food suppliers.

The One Can newsletter for May shows that 28% of the food donated comes from the regular food drives that are at a supermarket every weekend somewhere in South Bucks, so they are very important to the charity.
