Success at the East Grinstead May Fair

4th May 2017

This Bank Holiday Monday, the East Grinstead Foodbank ran a day-long stall at the May Fair, organised by the local Lions Club. Despite the rain, we had a team of enthusiastic volunteers to help us fundraise throughout the day – thank you all for your effort!

At the stall we ran our usual “guess the food” competition, devised by our Warehouse Manager James. 3 participants managed to correctly guess 2 out of 3 items, putting them at the top of our leaderboard. We are extremely grateful to shops in Gatwick Airport for donating the prizes for this competition, and we will be in touch with the winners soon.

Overall, we are proud to have raised £164.52 over Bank Holiday Monday. Thank you all for your generosity!

If you missed us on Bank Holiday Monday, you can donate online via BT MyDonate! Details here.

If you’re in crisis; we can help. Find out how here.
