Story
I'm Rob and I've been a volunteer for Ryedale Foodbank since 2016. During the current Covid-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic our local foodbanks are providing an essential source of food supplies for the most vulnerable people in our communities.
However, while demand is increasing, our supplies of donated food are being depleted as people are understandably focusing on maintaining their own for supplies, and only shopping for essentials.
We have been asked by some local people if there is a way of quickly and easily donating money instead of food at this time. On behalf of the whole Ryedale Foodbank team – we are extremely grateful for your support at this difficult time.
This is a targeted local community fundraiser (not a national campaign). All funds raised will be used for Ryedale Foodbank in Malton, Pickering and Norton.

4 years agoHi all, after discussion with Ryedale Foodbank leadership we've decided to increase the target from £5000 to £7500. We're immensely grateful for all the donations so far, as we know that money is tight for a huge number of people right now. The fundraiser is only just about halfway through so if people would still like to donate then we'll very gratefully accept any more donations that we receive. Good news: the first £5000 raised is being processed by JustGiving as we speak and should be transferred to Ryedale Foodbank as early as next week.
