Cosmic Ethical IT have launched a Spring Clean Your Cupboards (#BringInATin) campaign in support of the local food bank run by the Honiton Community Church.
I’m sure that you have all heard of food banks, they are charitable organisations set up to distribute food to those who are in ‘food crisis’. They rely on the support of local people to help keep them running. Last year, Honiton’s local food bank run by The Honiton Community Church received 521 food vouchers, which fed 1,236 people. The demand for this service is rising and so here at Cosmic, we want to do something to help.
Cosmic are asking local businesses to help support the campaign and will ensure they receive recognition for donating the food via social media.
A drop off point has been set up in the foyer of the East Devon Business Centre and donations need to be received by 29th April 2014. If you’re unable to drop off the food collections are available on the 17th and 29th April. (Please all 08450946108 to arrange collection).
The kinds of foods they are looking for are:
- Canned Meat/Meat meal
- Tinned Fish
- Tinned Carrots, Peas or Sweet Corn
- Tinned or Dried Potatoes
- Tinned Tomatoes
- Tinned Spaghetti
- Baked Beans
- Soup
- Fruit Juice or Fruit Squash

- Tea Bags, Coffee
- Noodles
- Rice or Savoury Rice

The Honiton food bank do a fantastic job and with your help we can help them support more local people.
