Food Initiatives
What do we want to do?
Our mission is to ensure that fresh, wholesome food reaches those who are most in need.
These include food banks, homeless shelters, and low-income public sector professionals. By distributing a broad range of food items rich in vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients we aim to not only reduce hunger but improve wellbeing
Christmas Fundraiser to Support Local Families in Need
This Christmas, we are launching a heartfelt fundraiser to bring joy and warmth to families who are struggling during the festive season. With up to 1 in 6 families across the UK facing difficulties affording even basic food, we feel more compelled than ever to step up and make a difference.
Our goal is to raise funds for festive food gifts, such as selection boxes and biscuit tins, which we will donate to local food banks. These special items can help make the season feel a bit more festive for families who might otherwise go without. We believe that every family should have the opportunity to celebrate and create happy memories at this time of year, regardless of their circumstances.
We are working with Bassetlaw Food Bank and local Trussell Trust food banks to distribute these festive treats to as many families as possible in the Nottinghamshire area. Our goal is to raise £300 which will enable us to secure at least 60 Selection Boxes and 60 Biscuit Tins. Our fundraiser will be active throughout November & December, culminating in deliveries that ensure these gifts are available in time for Christmas Day.
This campaign is rooted in the spirit of community and compassion. We invite everyone to join us, whether through donations to their local foodbank, donations to our fundraiser, or simply spreading the word. Together, we can bring smiles, warmth, and hope to those who need it most during this special time of year.
Donate and see our fundraising progress!
Fact finding mission to Bassetlaw Foodbank
Great fact finding mission at Bassetlaw Food Bank!
During our visit to Bassetlaw food bank, we had the opportunity to witness first hand the important work being done to support individuals and families in need. The food bank plays a crucial role in providing essential food items to those facing food insecurity, ensuring that no one in the community goes hungry whilst educating people in the process. We love how by combining bee keeping and growing their own produce, they are providing a sustainable and rewarding way to support the community.
We, at The Yasmine McClory Foundation, are looking forward to starting our journey into growing fresh produce to supply to local food banks and homeless shelters.
