Want to join in with our AdLentCalendar?

16th February 2021

AdLentCalendar

 

If you’d like to help Wetherby and District Foodbank during Lent, then why not join in with our AdLentCalendar.

Whether you mark the season of Lent or not, this can be a fun way to help and a good way to find out a little more about the kind of items we need to stock our emergency food parcels.

You may have heard of a ‘reverse Advent calendar’ and this is pretty similar. The calendar in the link below lists a much-needed foodbank item for each of the 40 days of Lent. All you need to do is get yourself a large box or bag and pop an item in each day: 40 days, 40 items.

At the end of Lent, the donations can be dropped off with us and will help keep our warehouse well-stocked as we head into spring and summer. We’ll be posting reminders and ideas on social media and would also love to see pictures of your AdLentCalendar boxes or bags as they progress! Just use the hashtag #AdLentCalendar.

If 2021’s lockdown is leaving you reluctant to give up chocolate, wine or whatever, then this might be a fun alternative as well as being a great way to help people in our community who are struggling in these tough times. Why not spread the word and ask friends, family and neighbours to join in?

You can download your calendar here: Adlent-Calendar-2021

Thank you for your support!
