Harvest Festival is coming: Please Support Leeds South & East Foodbank

As Harvest Festival approaches, we’re inviting local businesses to team up with us to tackle local hunger.

During last year’s Harvest period alone, we supported 1,311 local people, including 512 children. Behind every single one of those numbers is a neighbour who needed a helping hand.

Your business can help ensure no-one in our community goes hungry this autumn.

🤝 How Your Workplace Can Get Involved

Holding a Harvest Collection in your office, shopfront, or venue is simple, powerful, and brings teams together:

• Collect: Gather non-perishable goods from employees, clients, or customers.
• Promote: Share our Harvest Appeal poster (attached) around the office to highlight the items we need most.
• Deliver: Every tin, packet, and box directly supplies a family in crisis with a balanced, three-day emergency food package.

📍 Collection & Drop-Off Details

Once your drive is complete, donations can be dropped off directly at our main warehouse:

Leeds South & East Foodbank
Unit 18, Millshaw Park Avenue, Millshaw Park Industrial Estate, LS11 0LR

• Need help with transport? If you are unable to deliver your collection, please call us on 0113 277 2229 and we’ll be happy to discuss options.

Together, we can turn small everyday donations into vital support for local families. Please reach out if you have any questions or to let us know you’re taking part!

Last year we supported 12,812 people across South and East Leeds with food parcels. We do not receive funding from the Government or Council so all donations are vital for us to continue supporting local people.
